The limits of centralisation

·1 min

There’s a limit to what you can do with a fully centralised data team.

A centralised team will never have the capacity to make all data accessible. So, only the most important datasets will be of decent quality to be truly accessible to most of the organisation. The rest will be inaccessible.

A centralised team that has no remit, appetite, and/or ability to improve the data at the source will be limited to what they can do centrally, as ultimately they are bound by the quality of the data at source.

If you want to achieve the goal of making your organisations data accessible you will need to do some decentralisation.
