But too often data remains stuck. While many companies are well underway on their digital journeys, organizations have yet to realize their data’s full potential, which can only come from their participation in the data economy. The data economy is increasingly based on data sharing in intercompany ecosystems, and growing it will require building new capabilities, harnessing emerging technologies for enablement, and defining new organizational and governance models to support greater collaboration. In this series of articles, we explore different aspects of unleashing the data economy. Topics include understanding what the data economy is and examining its value, the challenges of data sharing, and how firms can navigate the changing landscape of opportunity.
