About

We're here to tackle your business' big questions

Who we are

Our consultants are experts in data-led decision making, going beyond top-level recommendations to empower decision makers with end-to-end data strategies.

A diverse group of strategic thinkers, we work laterally to bring together detailed numerical insight and big-picture strategic context.

Traditional consulting options typically include strategy consultants or data scientists, working in siloes, with important insight lost at each handover stage – at DVS, no potential is left behind. At every step, we go back, we reiterate and explore, and make sure that at all points we are finding you value.

Deliverables

High-level estimate of potential value for each of the short-listed initiatives, focusing on their commercial upside

Proof of
Value

Objective

Deliver analytics tools (models, dashboards, etc.) of identified use cases, allowing these to be embedded into existing business and data architectures.

Engagement

We maintain regular contact with project sponsors, ensuring ability to embed into existing architecture, while delivering its commercial imperative

Depending on the use case, this could vary from data platform build, ML models, dashboards or other tools

Early Implementation
