A data company

Cynozure was established to reshape our collective vision of data and analytics and set a new precedence on data strategy in a traditionally tech-led data industry. “I was inspired by my time at M&S,” explains Jason.

“At that time we were really at the sharp end of data; there was an air of newness, of being leading edge, but with that you do make mistakes. In many ways, Cynozure was me creating the organisation I wished existed at that time to steer me through the journey pragmatically. I took a step back and asked ‘what is this really about?’, and the answer was simple: building a better future for all through the open and positive use of data.”

People led

Culture and collaboration are key to success – both for us, and for the customers that we work with. It’s one of the 6 pillars of a data strategy, and is something we embody as part of our values.

Business goals = data goals

“When people struggle to get a data strategy signed off, it’s typically because they’ve majored on the things they need to build and implement, or the capabilities needed, rather than the business outcomes they’re looking to impact. You have to align your use of data to what you’re actually trying to achieve in the business, and that can be challenging and difficult sometimes.”
