Companies are faced with difficult decisions that impact whether they simply survive or thrive, and data plays a strategic role. How can you correct the lack of timely, accurate or sufficient data to support key decisions? Missing, inaccurate, outdated or ineffective data can cause suboptimal decisions that lead to imperfect outcomes.
The data challenge
How do we merge data and story effectively? Stories engage us on a deeper level and in the context of digital transformation, data storytelling has been used to communicate the impact of technology on a business, to drive decision-making or to communicate the benefits of technology to stakeholders. This involves presenting data in a way that’s visually appealing, easy to understand, and highlights the most important insights and trends. Mazars data scientists build credible and compelling narratives around the collection of enterprise data - as part of the larger digital transformation journey. Read Creating the data narrative >

A quarter of leaders say a new or revised talent attraction and retention strategy is a strategic priority and know the inability to attract a skilled workforce could hold back their company’s growth. Leaders consider teamwork/camaraderie, quality of team members and the opportunity for advancement vital ingredients for attracting talent. Despite acknowledging the importance of a diverse workforce, true equity remains elusive in many companies, with little progress in terms of gender diversity among top decision-makers.
Recognising the importance of diversity and talent
A new or revised sustainability strategy is number two on the list of C-suite strategic priorities for the coming three to five years, second only to transforming company IT/technology. And over two thirds plan to increase investment in sustainability initiatives in 2023. Most businesses produce a sustainability report but admit data quality and tracking can be challenging. Meanwhile, just over a third feel totally ready for new ESG reporting requirements.
Investing in a sustainable future
Transforming company IT/technology is the top strategic priority for the coming three to five years. The C-suite expect the emergence of new technology to have a big impact on their business and are confident in their ability to manage it. They recognise the importance of new technology, particularly AI, automation, big data and Web3, though many concede a lack of familiarity with these technologies.
