Creating a Data-Driven Culture
Setting up for success
Whether your company is at the beginning of its analytics journey or operating at the bleeding edge of technology and strategy, one common theme will always be important – culture and mindset. A lack of organizational buy-in can hinder even the most well designed, thoroughly vetted strategies. When it comes to data culture there are 6 essential topics to consider.
Generating organizational excitement about using data for decision making, increasing adoption of technology and improving collaboration between departments means removing the barriers of access, putting analytics in front of as many different groups within your organization.
Technology
The right technology can help accelerate the success of data literacy across a business. For users to utilize business intelligence, they need to feel like they’re in control of their data. Limited access along with the ability to compare data from distinct and disparate sources remains a common theme.
Access to information
If data and information are siloed then only part of the ‘story’ is being understood and interpreted – meaning the decisions and actions being made could be incorrect. Increasing access and improving collaboration can provide an extra layer of context to the data, helping users to see the complete ‘data story’.
