The Data Fit Org: A New Approach to Building Data Capability and Value from Data

Ahead of the World Mining Congress later this month, we sat down with CORE Co-Founder Zane Prickett to learn more about the Data Fit Organisation and why this new approach is shaping how mining companies interpret, use and apply data to their operations.

In the rapidly evolving digital landscape, organisations are increasingly recognising the immense value that lies within their data. The ability to extract meaningful insights and drive informed decision-making has become a crucial competitive advantage.

To help businesses leverage their data effectively, CORE Skills, in collaboration with the Future of Work Institute are hosting a half day workshop as part of the World Mining Congress, "The Data Fit Org: A New Approach to Building Data Capability and Value from Data."

Here Zane takes us through some of the workshop highlights:

Lean for Data: Delivering Value Through Data

At the core of this workshop is the concept of "lean for data," a cutting-edge approach that focuses on delivering value through data. Inspired by the lean methodology used in process improvement, lean for data aims to streamline data workflows, eliminate inefficiencies, and maximize the value generated from data assets. By adopting this approach, organisations can optimize their data processes and enhance their overall data capability.

Mapping Data Capability within Organizations

A fundamental aspect of the training is a methodology for mapping data capability within organisations. This process allows participants to gain a comprehensive understanding of their existing data workflows, identify gaps in data capability, and develop strategies to bridge those gaps. By visualizing the entire data journey, from collection to analysis to decision-making, organisations can pinpoint areas for improvement and take targeted actions to enhance their data capability.

Industrial Data Workflow Mapping

Participants of the workshop will have the opportunity to engage in hands-on exercises involving mapping an industrial data workflow. By dissecting and analysing the specific data flow within their own industry, attendees will gain valuable insights into the unique challenges and opportunities related to data utilisation in their sector. This exercise provides a practical framework for understanding the intricacies of data workflows and developing tailored strategies to unlock their full potential.

Identifying Roles and Capabilities

Building a data-driven organisation requires the right people with the right skills. The workshop will focus on helping participants identify the roles and capabilities necessary for success in their data initiatives. By understanding the specific skill sets required at each stage of the data workflow, organisations can ensure they have the appropriate expertise in place to extract maximum value from their data assets. This aspect of the program empowers organizations to build a data-savvy workforce that can drive innovation and deliver tangible results.

Enabling and Embedding Data Workflows

One of the significant challenges organisations face is the successful enablement and embedding of data workflows within their business processes. The workshop will shed light on strategies to overcome these challenges. By exploring real-world case studies and best practices, participants will gain insights into successful implementation approaches. The program equips organizations with the knowledge and tools needed to integrate data workflows seamlessly into their operations, enabling a data-driven culture to thrive.


As the World Mining Congress 2023 approaches, organizations seeking to stay ahead in the data-driven era have a unique opportunity to participate in "The Data Fit Org: A New Approach to Building Data Capability and Value from Data" workshop. This workshop promises to be a transformative experience. By introducing the concept of lean for data and providing a methodology for mapping data capability, this program empowers organisations to harness the true potential of their data assets. Don't miss out on this chance to revolutionise your data utilisation and gain a competitive edge in today's data-driven world.
