From Data Chaos to Clear Direction

In today's data-driven world, organizations are drowning in information but starving for insight. The challenge isn't collecting data—it's knowing what problems to solve and how to frame them correctly.

The Problem with Problem Identification

Most organizations approach data projects backwards. They start with the data they have, rather than the problems they need to solve. This leads to:

  • Analysis Paralysis: Too many metrics, not enough meaning
  • Solution Bias: Building what's technically possible, not what's business-critical
  • Resource Waste: Investing in data infrastructure without clear ROI

The CFT Problem Framing Framework

Our approach begins with understanding your business context before touching any data:

1. Business Context Mapping

We start by understanding your strategic objectives, operational challenges, and decision-making processes.

2. Stakeholder Alignment

Ensuring all key stakeholders agree on the problems worth solving and success metrics.

3. Data-Problem Fit Assessment

Evaluating whether your current data can answer your most critical business questions.

4. Solution Architecture Design

Creating a roadmap that transforms identified problems into actionable solutions.

Real-World Impact

Our problem framing approach has helped organizations:

  • Reduce project timelines by 40% through better scope definition
  • Increase solution adoption by 85% through stakeholder alignment
  • Achieve 3x higher ROI on data initiatives
