Get the data basics right by Toni Sekinah via @TheDataIQ

Get the basics right, use incoming regulation as a stimulus to innovate, and choose the right tools to manage the data. Those are the three key conclusions drawn by credit reference agency Experian from a recent survey, "Embracing the data challenge in a digitalised world".

Definitely if you have to do the work anyway due to some kind of regulation you should use it as an opportunity to make some steps forward at the same time. This reduces the overall cost of any improvement as the regulation changes are under a different cost bucket.
