Abstract
Data-driven transformation is a do-or-die decision for organizations, with many organizations still failing to successfully transform. To achieve data-driven transformation, a company must establish data-oriented data communities and link them with its domain-specific non-data-oriented communities. As the two types of communities connect, they collaborate, transfer knowledge, and change work practices. In this briefing, we propose five connecting structures that link data and non-data communities, and describe how Microsoft Corporation s IT organization is leveraging these structures to achieve both innovative work practices that produce new value and shared work practices that create scale economies.
