Data Strategy Governance & Compliance Program

A large global pharmaceutical company hired BRG to help it rethink and build out a new data strategy governance and compliance program. The executive team had concerns that various divisions were using data inefficiently and inconsistently, hindering a unified global strategy.

BRG first organized a Global Data Council (GDC) to support and align the firm’s vision, goals, and imperatives and worked collaboratively with the council to perform a baseline data maturity assessment for each business unit across four pillars. BRG experts tracked progress with six- and twelve-month follow-ups and helped develop practical toolkits—policies, processes, programs, training, and culture-improvement plans—designed to accelerate adoption and drive measurable outcomes for the organization. This resulted in increased data maturity scores and the implementation of policies enterprise-wide.
