Working with data and process to deliver value

Welcome to Datinal. My name is Andrew Bilsdon and I specialise in delivering consulting services so organisations can leverage their data assets and improve their business processes.
I have over 20 years of experience in consulting across multiple verticals and technology stacks.
My Values

Direction: Ensuring Lasting Impact
Delivering a solution is only half the battle—true success comes from adoption. My approach ensures that stakeholders are fully prepared to integrate and embrace new data solutions:
- Engaging with support teams throughout the project to ensure a smooth transition and long-term sustainability.
- Guiding stakeholders through the journey so they are ready to use the solution from day one.
- Implementing change management strategies that leverage internal advocates to drive adoption.
Identifying key users who benefit from the solution early on, then using their success to inspire wider adoption.

Engagement: Building Strong Connections
Effective adoption is built on continuous engagement. I prioritise:
- Including support teams in project communications so they are fully prepared for implementation.
- Delivering incremental business value to maintain user interest and investment.
- Actively listening to stakeholders to ensure their needs and concerns are understood.
- Addressing potential issues before they escalate.

Outcomes: Delivering Measurable Value
The ultimate goal is to achieve meaningful, measurable results. I ensure:
- A clear value proposition is defined at the project’s inception.
- Complex concepts (e.g., stewardship, ownership, SDL, ROI) are simplified for actionable execution.
- Value delivery is continuously measured and reported to drive ongoing improvement.
- Inefficiencies are removed.
By combining technical expertise with a strategic, people-focused approach, I help organisations turn data into a powerful business asset and optimise how they work.
