The ADAPT+C Framework

Data is being generated at an exponential rate and is more readily available than ever before. Leaders want to harness this data to inform decision-making, but many struggle to define the path forward for their organization. To help address these challenges, Booz Allen has developed ADAPT+C: a holistic framework that empowers organizations to understand, grow, and reinforce their analytics capability. Regardless of where an organization is in its analytics journey, ADAPT+C can help navigate the road ahead. 

The six parts of ADAPT+C represent the elements that must be considered when developing an analytics capability within an organization. At each stage of the approach, the six ADAPT+C elements provide the framework for assessment and analysis. 

ANALYTIC OPPORTUNITIES: Considers new and existing use cases to identify analytics applications to further organizations’ mission and operations 

DATA: Considers opportunities to use new and existing data sets and to improve data governance and management in support of analytics projects

ANALYTIC TECHNIQUES: Considers the analytic tradecraft and techniques that may be applied to generate insights from data

PEOPLE: Considers the set of human capital programs required to develop a talented and capable team of analytics practitioners

TECHNOLOGY: Considers the optimal uses for new and existing technologies, including applications, data platforms and infrastructure, to perform analytics projects

CULTURE: Considers organizational mechanisms that communicate, share, and reinforce the value of analytics across the organization to change staff behavior
