The way Datamine works. Discover our processes and what working with Datamine looks like.
Working with Datamine means plugging into a team of data experts and a wide-ranging suite of tools and solutions. But before you reach the implementation stage, our team takes you through a process designed to clarify your goals and unearth data opportunities. Our approach is deeply collaborative, with a clear progression and a laser focus on tangible outcomes.
Step 1.
Getting started: Meet our business coordinator
A conversation with one of our business coordinators is the first step. More of a chat than a structured meeting, this is a chance for your team to talk about your project, your reasons for approaching Datamine, and the pain points or challenges you’re hoping to solve.
If your needs and our services align, our business coordinator will set up a meeting with one of our consultants.
Step 2.
Dig into the details: Meet your Datamine consultant
Your initial meeting with a Datamine consultant is a deeper dive into your project goals. During this meeting, your consultant will outline potential tools and solutions, talk about your data sources and current software, and give you a broad sense of the project timeline.
What to expect from your Datamine consultant
Our consultants know our products and processes inside and out, so they can give you concrete insights about your upcoming data journey. Like all our people, they’re data nerds at heart – ready to guide you through the complexities of datasets and analytics with clarity and ease.
Step 3.
Schedule an immersive data strategy workshop
Whether you’re launching a new data analytics initiative, optimising clunky workflows or tackling a long-term organisational gap, our two immersive strategy workshops are tailored to help you refine your goals and launch into the planning process.
Envisaging workshop: This focused session will kickstart your strategic data planning journey. It’s designed to uncover key opportunities and align your leadership team around shared goals, giving you a solid foundation for detailed strategy development.
Solution design workshop: Push your project forward with this detailed, in-depth session designed to advance your project by focusing precisely on your unique challenges. Together, we’ll map out detailed solutions and strategies, leaving you with a clear implementation plan.
Productive discussions, tangible outcomes
After decades in data analytics and solution design, the Datamine team knows how to maximise the value of every workshop. Each session is designed and facilitated by a workshop specialist and a Datamine consultant, with a dedicated note-taker to ensure that every aspect of the discussion is captured and actionable insights are documented. Our workshops are carefully structured for productive discussion and clear outcomes.
We also offer flexible scheduling, from half-day to multi-day sessions, adapted to the complexity of the task and availability of your team.

Step 4.
Translating the technical with your Owl
When you work with Datamine, you’ll be assigned one of our Owls – team members with a unique combination of people skills and technical expertise. Your Owl is your tech-speak translator, turning complex concepts and technical jargon into digestible, actionable insights. We call this data storytelling, and it’s a vital part of our process.
Data storytelling
Data storytelling turns complex data into coherent, usable insights. Technical details and large-scale datasets can be difficult to parse, so we extract and present key findings instead of sharing every data point.
Storytelling can come in the form of analytical visualisations, interactive dashboards, heat maps, graphs, charts or summaries.
Your project partner
Your Owl is part-translator, part-project guide, part-analytics expert. Working with an Owl helps your leadership team maximise the value of your analytics project by guiding you through planning and implementation and acting as your voice on the Datamine team. When your project is complete, your Owl is your first point of contact for follow-up questions.
How you benefit from the Datamine process
The Datamine approach is built on decades of experience, vast collective expertise and strong partnerships with our clients. The result is a clear, cohesive process that has a tangible impact on your organisation. While we keep your stakeholders informed and involved at every stage, we take charge of the wider process, delivering tailor-made solutions without increasing your workload.
