The Good Strat Board

Tuesday 24th February 2026

Right, so imagine this: it’s a Sunday in 2026, and somewhere in the digital equivalent of a greasy spoon café with flickering neon and a faint smell of burnt metadata, a group of data professionals has gathered round a table that’s less “round table discussion” and more “round table of the apocalypse”. They’ve had three coffees each, none of them decaf, and they’re absolutely livid about LinkedIn. Not the platform itself, you understand – though God knows it deserves it – but the absolute carnival of self-congratulatory lunacy that passes for “thought leadership” in the data world.

Films That We Have Loved

Martyn Richard Jones, Spain 8th July 2025

We frequently reveal a little of ourselves when we disclose the things we detest and love. Especially little things that delight, fascinate, and entertain us. Here are ten films that I have taken as my own. Of course, the choice is highly arbitrary, and I love many more movies. I am using these devices. They help me reconstruct the foundations of my life. This was before my journey to Galicia. They also support my current life in Bandoxa. They are films, but they also form a small part of my identity.

Lassie Does Data

Remember that old story about Lassie, the Yorkshire collie dog?

And, how Lassie would run across the Scottish highlands, lowlands and Yorkshire moors.

Aww, wasn’t she so cute?

Just because you can say it doesn’t mean that you can do it

Martyn Jones, New York, 25th September 2024

Narrator: There is a fascinating famous saying, “Just because you can write something, draw something, or say something, doesn’t mean that you can do it”, that I think could be further explored in the context of data and analytics. It seems to go hand in hand with expressions such as “It must be true because I read it on the internet”. Also, it can be pretty surprising how many businesses expect their people to lie where it’s practical and commercially beneficial.

Physician, heal thyself!

Narrator: Consider this. If the originators, acolytes and sycophants of data mesh hadn’t been so free and easy with how they created and perpetrated technical debt, especially data model and data quality-related technical debt, then we wouldn’t need data mesh to try and get us out of the mess these sloppy developer people put us into in the first place.

Data warehousing stands in the way of progress? (The Data Dialogues, Nov 2024)

Data warehousing stands in the way of progress?

“Never discourage anyone who continually makes progress, no matter how slow.”

Plato

Narrator: Let us start with a softball question. The kind that even your granny could have knocked out of the park.

How does a business describe the value it gets from accessing and analysing fresh quality data to decide what is strategically, tactically and operationally preferable for the future of the industry?

It’s not a trick question, but a tricky one that is as hard to grasp and come to terms with as a mightily greasy piglet with a very questioning tail.

What do Pete and Dud think about that? Get ready kiddies. Let’s take a peek…

The Data Dialogues (Nov 24) If in doubt, blame the data

If in doubt, blame ‘data quality’

Narrator: It doesn’t matter what you are trying to do, or even if you know what you are trying to do, but if in doubt, blame the quality of the data. There was a time when data quality was a massive impediment to business data integration.

Data quality assurance was a glint in IT’s eye. A far-away place that nobody knew how to get to.
