\u00a0When organizations shape their management approach to use data every day to make decisions, they are often described as operating a data driven culture. Organizations want to maximize the value of their data by using it to make business decisions. It\u2019s never been more possible thanks to cloud computing and big data. And yet, the secret of driving business success through data often has more to do with the attitudes and skills of your people, than the technology they use.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_4,1_4″ _builder_version=”4.6.1″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”|auto|25px|auto||” custom_padding=”6px||2px|||”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.6.1″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/makeinnovation.work\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/business-PFKNNCC-1.jpg” alt=”curiosity” title_text=”business-PFKNNCC (1)” _builder_version=”4.7.3″ _module_preset=”default”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_4″ _builder_version=”4.6.1″ _module_preset=”default”][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_4″ _builder_version=”4.6.1″ _module_preset=”default”][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.7.3″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”-12px|auto||auto||” custom_padding=”0px|||||”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.7.3″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.7.3″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”-24px|||||”]

Businesses that transition decision making to be evidence based, need curious minds to power change.<\/strong> Individuals at all levels of the enterprise must as the question \u2018Why\u2019 more often, and have data and analytical tooling at their disposal that equips them to rapidly find answers to those questions. In the digital age, a spreadsheet doesn\u2019t quite cut it. You will need data harvesting and visualisation tools. More over, you will need data to be organized correctly in the first place, and probably cleansed of impurities.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.7.3″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”15px||-3px|-1px|false|false” custom_padding=”|||0px|false|false” animation_style=”fade” header_text_shadow_style=”preset3″ border_color_left=”#8497b0″]

Many of the new executive roles are analytics based. For example, in the office equipment industry, the transition to data-driven business has led many vendors to appoint Service Managers with an analytical background where previously, these roles were fulfilled by \u2018the best field service engineers.\u2019 Such roles today are largely about understanding patterns in data, managing people, and acting on escalations.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.7.3″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”15px||-11px|-1px|false|false” custom_padding=”|29px||8px|false|false” animation_style=”fade” hover_enabled=”0″ header_text_shadow_style=”preset3″ border_color_left=”#8497b0″ sticky_enabled=”0″]

Once the bastion of large corporations\u2014because they were the only community of business able to afford the extremely high price tag\u2014business intelligence has become democratized over the last decade thanks to affordable \u2018pay-as-you-use\u2019 applications and cloud-based technologies that scale accessibility and affordability to dashboarding and data warehousing tools.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.7.3″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”0px|||||”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.7.3″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.7.3″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”-41px|||||”]

    In a digital era, businesses operate on data. Much of their opportunity is programmed into inbound marketing schemas and their operational performance depends on data analytics to execute hundreds of decisions based on fact\u2014not gut-feel\u2014to fine-tune internal processes and minimize sales costs. To create a data driven culture requires a culture change in many management teams that are accustomed to driving their business based on \u2018hunches\u2019 and \u2018best guesses\u2019 over what customers value and what they want.

      The transition from analog<\/em> to digital business<\/em> behaviors has been swift; a matter of a few years. Many enterprises find themselves on the wrong side of this wave, operating without good customer, product, business or market insights. They find their operations somewhat sluggish compared to the \u2018SaaSy\u2019 new-kids on the block.

      Attitudes to data vary across businesses. Leaders generally see it as crucial and an opportunity, while many departmental leaders find it a tantalizing prospect that\u2019s probably out of reach. IT leaders, on the other hand, see data as a problem and a risk. And there will be many that see the surfacing of operational data as a risk, given that it might expose their underperformance. Bringing everyone on the same page will not be easy, but it is necessary to remain competitive in a digital economy.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.7.3″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”-4px|auto||auto||” custom_padding=”0px|||||”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.7.3″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.7.3″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”-30px|||||”]

      Creating a data driven culture is a change project like any other.
