Mapping enterprise data, and a path through governance.
A senior director needs two things. First: a clear picture of the enterprise data landscape and the governance surrounding it (what data exists, where it lives, who owns it, and what rules apply to it). Second: a plan to integrate third-party vendor data into the enterprise data layer, populate downstream systems with it, and enrich what is already there.
This started as advisory. We sit with data owners across the business, walk the third-party contracts, and test the assumptions about what can and cannot be ingested under the firm's governance rules. Some of those assumptions do not hold up. The plan names that, with alternatives.
The plan is now being implemented.
Outcome: customer onboarding time has dropped from weeks to days. Automated, enriched onboarding data is in place across hundreds of KYC and KYB data points.
What this shows: advisory work that takes a vague-but-important brief, makes it specific, and makes it actionable, and stays in long enough to see the plan land. This is the shape of a Mission Control engagement when the brief is "help us think about this clearly", and then "help us actually do it".
