From scattered analytics and no ownership to a clear data strategy, teams structure, and roadmap — in 6 weeks.

Background

‍

A global B2B software company was growing fast — but its data and analytics environment wasn’t keeping up. Teams across departments had built their own reports, KPIs were inconsistent, and there was no clear ownership over critical data assets. Leadership lacked a reliable view of performance, and initiatives like AI or advanced analytics felt out of reach.

‍

The Challenge

‍

Multiple BI tools with no centralized logic or governance
No data owner or team accountable for strategy
Reporting was reactive, slow, and often questioned
Conflicting KPIs and siloed metrics created friction across teams
Leadership unsure how to invest in people, platform, or priorities

‍

Our Role: Fractional CDO Engagement

‍

Panatila was brought in to assess the current state and design a modern, business-aligned data strategy and operating model — with just 6 weeks to deliver.

We acted as a Fractional CDO, bringing C-level clarity and cross-functional leadership without requiring the company to hire a full-time executive.
