BARC and Data Masterclass Announce Partnership to Bridge the Gap Between Data Strategy and Execution

Würzburg, August 1, 2025 – BARC and Data Masterclass, the fast track program for European Data & AI leaders to accelerate their data & AI journeys, announce a strategic partnership designed to guide organizations from planning to results. This collaboration helps companies successfully execute their Data, Analytics, and AI initiatives. 

Bridging Strategy and Execution 

Organizations face multiple challenges: assessing investments with confidence, selecting the right technologies, and executing data-driven strategies effectively. BARC offers strategic guidance through independent market research, advisory services, and the BARC Leaders Circle. Data Masterclass complements this with hands-on training and equips teams with the skills needed to turn strategies into reality. 

“Strategies only create value when companies successfully implement them,” said Dr. Carsten Bange, founder and managing director of BARC. “This partnership combines independent expertise with practical, hands-on training, delivering tangible value for organizations.” 

“We equip organizations with practical leadership – the blueprints and coaches for successful data and AI transformation,” added Alexander Borek, founder and managing director of Data Masterclass. “Together with BARC, we bridge the critical gap between strategic theory and operational reality.”

Benefits for Organizations 

  • End-to-End Guidance: A single path from independent advisory services to practical team training. 
  • Accelerated Value: Link sound decision-making directly to effective, skilled execution. 
  • Range of Experts: Get access to senior analysts, coaches and thought-leaders from Data Masterclass and BARC
  • Higher Clarity: Cross platform access to research and blueprints from BARC and Data Masterclass

Starting August 1, BARC and Data Masterclass will launch exclusive combination packages that merge the strengths of both organizations into integrated, high-impact offerings.
