Small improvements create real change.
Most data roadmaps fail because they’re written like heroic fantasy. “We will unify all data across the enterprise.” Cool. And I will also become a professional astronaut chef. A practical roadmap focuses on small improvements, clear phases, and visible wins. You’ll get a practical checklist you can run immediately, plus a clear next step to reduce rework and rebuild trust.
Data integrity isn’t philosophical. It’s not a vibe. It’s whether you can reproduce the same number tomorrow without reenacting a crime scene investigation. In the real world, the question shows up like this: “Why does the KPI say 92% here and 87% there?” KPI means Key Performance Indicator, but on bad days it stands for Keep People Investigating. You’ll get a practical checklist you can run immediately, plus a clear next step to reduce rework and rebuild trust.
Bad data is rarely a technical mystery, it’s usually a decision problem wearing a data costume. This article shows why KPI trust breaks (definitions, timing, identity), what a trust-first approach looks like, and how to build a data “supply chain” that produces reliable dashboards and forecasts. Includes a practical road map and a 2-week starter plan to surface where your numbers are getting distorted.
