We will help you ensure that your strategy will get the required buy-in from all key stakeholders in the organisation, positioning data as a fundamental enabler for the achievement of your strategic ambitions.
The approach will create alignment between your organisational business strategy and the use and exploitation of data to deliver organisation value. It will define the business and technology capabilities required, creating business information models and conceptual data models and identifying their strategic importance to the organisation. As part of the strategy, we will define the governance processes and organisational changes needed to support the strategy.
It will set out approaches to either implement or enhance core data systems such as the Operational Data Stores (ODS), Enterprise Data Warehouses (EDW), Big Data (Data Lake) and how Business Intelligence, Analytics, Insight and Science will be served by these systems

Fighting climate change
Mosaic Island recognises the importance of environmental and sustainability issues, and how these contribute to overall climate change. We therefore consider these matters in all our business decisions, ensuring we adhere to our company environmental policy, demonstrating our commitment to the wider community and clients. Remote working has a positive impact on a company’s environmental footprint and is a huge factor into why we made a permanent shift to having a remote workforce, and closing our main office which therefore brings a reduction in our individual and business carbon footprints. We prioritise the procurement of eco-friendly products and services from local suppliers, emphasising the reduction of environmental impact throughout our supply chain and ensuring that they are produced and supplied in a sustainable fashion, do not contain toxic materials, and can be recycled and/or are produced from recycled materials. We actively seek suppliers who share our dedication to sustainable practices. By collaborating with environmentally conscious suppliers, we aim to create a network that collectively contributes to the preservation of our planet. Our services prioritise energy efficiency, and we advocate for the adoption of green technologies that align with carbon reduction goals. We also work closely with our customers to implement strategies that optimise their eco systems, reducing overall carbon footprint. We have an efficient use of equipment – by keeping our surplus electronic equipment out of the landfill. At times when our business replaces electronic items, we recycle as much as possible, by holding technology auctions to our employees. All proceeds are then donated to charity. We have introduced a work cycle scheme, encouraging all our people to be eco-friendly with their transportation. In addition, we report on our carbon footprint which helps increase transparency and accountability in our supply chain.Equal opportunity
Our Diversity & Inclusion committee is in place to ensure we are prioritising an inclusive working environment. As part of this ongoing commitment to creating an inclusive workplace and to close the disability employment gap, we ensure our entire workforce undertakes compulsory training on equality and diversity. We also make sure our hiring process is inclusive, and we ensure we include language that appeals to a wider breadth of people. We also carry out work assessments which provide a framework of questions to help understand how best to cater for our people’s needs; this provides equality to all and ensures no one feels isolated. We also make sure we use the most modern and up to date technology to create more opportunities for people without restrictions, as well as operating a fully flexible working environment which ensures restrictions such as inaccessible public transport can be avoided as an example. We have clear policies that outline our position on equality including a statement on the prevention of Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking. These policies affirm our zero-tolerance approach and governs all our business dealings and the conduct of all persons or organisations with whom we contract directly or who we appoint on our behalf. We have compiled a supplier code of conduct which formally explains how we expect suppliers to operate, which includes relation to avoiding labour exploitation and driving equal opportunities. All our contracts require our suppliers to adhere to this policy and we will not engage with any supplier that does not. We have adequate controls in place to manage, monitor and mitigate such risks which inform us which parts of our Supply Chain or Business areas are most vulnerable. Our risk assessment is reviewed periodically and updated to ensure that our controls remain appropriate and robust.Wellbeing
As a fully remote working organisation, it is especially important for us to combat any potential feelings of isolation and ensure our people are happy, engaged, and productive. Health and wellbeing play a large part in this and is always encouraged throughout our workforce. We conduct regular initiatives to build stronger physical and mental health, this became more apparent throughout the COVID19 pandemic where the strongest of mindsets were tested. Initiatives such as team step challenges to encourage the importance of keeping active. We also run weekly coffee mornings to ensure we communicate regularly with the team, also encouraging people to take regular breaks. We run regular initiatives for ‘mental health awareness week’, which include encouraging time spent outdoors, connecting with nature, checking in with people and taking breaks, supported by our 5 qualified Mental Health First Aiders, who act as a point of contact for all mental health and wellbeing matters. We have a Diversity/Inclusion committee which includes the topic of mental wellbeing, where monthly workshops are held. We assess risk, provide resources, promote mental wellness strategies, and evaluate the effectiveness of relevant initiatives running. Our most recent workshop was a campaign for workplace culture change called ‘bringing your whole self to work’ which empowers employees to support their own and others wellbeing. We have active Cycle Scheme and Gym membership initiatives to encourage physical and mental health benefits. We provide proactive support including Employee Assistance Programmes which provide access to support services including qualified, confidential guidance and counselling to ensure our people have the support needed. All of these topics and resources are documented on our central ‘hub’ accessed by our workforce, including details of any initiatives we run, signposting to useful organisations and helpful guidance and advice on health and wellbeing.
