This webinar explores how data maturity in transformation plays a key role in building trust, transparency, and decisions based on real insight. What data gives people is transparency. Everyone has built-up experience and can offer opinions, but when backed up with data. Often, assumptions about busy periods turn out to be inaccurate; the data tells a different story.

As a result, that visibility often drives investment. Organisations begin addressing their data, cleaning it up, expanding its use, and bringing it into meetings. It becomes more than opinion, there’s evidence to support it. This is where data brings trust. Rather than just saying things are going well, teams can now show it with statistics.

Additionally, finance system changes often require organisations to rethink how they hold and structure their data. When moving from one system to another, the hierarchy can shift dramatically. Addressing and aligning the data becomes essential.

ERP programmes can also force a step change in data maturity. However, what matters most is what happens after. Will you maintain that level of maturity, or allow it to drift? In some examples, organisations kept the momentum, managing their data proactively. In others, it slipped. While that first step is usually reactive, something forces a response; the real opportunity is to make the shift proactive.

To support that shift, it’s crucial to show the value of increased maturity quickly. Whether it’s a new dashboard or real-time access, showcase it. If people see the benefit, they’ll want to keep it, and that creates a strong reason to maintain progress.
