Value driven, not data driven

Combining domain expertise in investing, data science, machine learning, AI, data engineering and change management, we support our clients to deliver both outputs and outcomes.

DataDiligence is a boutique consultancy that helps private equity firms and portfolio companies unlock the economic value of data.

 

From data & AI due diligence to data strategy and use case delivery, we work across the investment cycle to identify, verify, accelerate, institutionalise, and realise value from data, AI, and machine learning. 

Data is valuable.  

 

But, data’s value is hard to unlock.  It's not reflected on balance sheets.  And data projects are - notoriously - failing (80% of the time according to Gartner).

Also, while many investors and executives intuitively understand data’s value - the data itself and the ‘ecosystem’ surrounding it is not being rigorously assessed within commercial due diligence. Nor is data being actively built into business strategies beyond a misconstrued dotted line to IT spend.

We aim to change this.

Our mission

Our mission is to help businesses and investors identify, extract, and monetise the consumer, product and operational insights buried in their data. 

We are committed to delivering the highest quality advise to our clients.

 

Our team of experts draw on years of expertise, plus the latest technology and tools to analyse data, data infrastructure, people, and process to provide insights that are actionable and valuable.
