After 25 years building data strategies—first running his own program, then consulting for hundreds of organizations across every major industry—Kevin Lewis discovered something: nearly everyone having challenges with their data strategy is making the same fundamental mistakes.
They're trying to build business cases disconnected from the real enterprise priorities. They're creating "foundations" that are severely underutilized. They're swinging between extremes of centralization and decentralization. And they're wondering why their significant investments aren't delivering results. All this while faithfully following widely-repeated expert guidance.
It's time to reconsider the conventional wisdom driving these strategies.
In Data Strategy Reconsidered, Lewis shares seven counterintuitive principles that actually work in the messy reality of large organizations:
Target Business Initiatives, Not Direct Business Value
Stop competing for attention and become an enabler of what matters most
Build for Change, Not All Possible Requirements
Create extensible solutions without over-engineering
Balance Responsibility, Don't Polarize
Find the sweet spot between centralization and decentralization
Build Coherent Architecture, Not Monolithic Data Stores or Splintered Data Products
Enable true cross-domain integration when business demands it
Focus on the Future, Not on Rewriting Legacy
Deliver value immediately while gradually retiring old systems
Plan the Program, Not Just Individual Solutions
Ensure every project contributes to a larger vision
Embed Data Strategy, Don't Isolate It
Make good data practices a permanent organizational capability
What makes this book different:
- Battle-tested principles refined across hundreds of large enterprises
- Practical guidance you can apply immediately—no fluff
- Technology-agnostic approach that works regardless of your tools or platforms
- Clear examples from financial services, manufacturing, healthcare, retail, and more
Stop struggling with approaches that sound good but don't work. Discover what actually succeeds in the real world of enterprise data strategy.
Kevin Lewis brings 25 years of hands-on experience in data strategy, having built his own successful data and analytics program before becoming a consultant to hundreds of organizations. His contrarian insights have helped companies across every major industry transform their data capabilities from struggling cost centers into strategic business enablers.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.

The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
