Establish an Analytics Operating Model

Accelerate data-driven decision making.

  • Organizations are struggling to understand what's involved in the analytics developer lifecycle to generate reusable insights faster.
  • Discover what it takes to become a citizen analytics developer. Identify the proper way to enable self-serve analytics.
  • Self-serve business intelligence/analytics is misunderstood and confusing to the business, especially with regards to the roles and responsibilities of IT and the business.
  • End users are dissatisfied due to a lack of access to the data and the absence of a single source of truth.

Our Advice

Critical Insight

Organizations that take data seriously should:

  • Decouple processes in which data is separated from business processes and elevate the visibility of the organization's data assets.
  • Leverage a secure platform where data can be easily exchanged for insights generation.
  • Create density for analytics where resources are mobilized around analytics ideas to generate value.

Analytics is a journey, not a destination. This journey can eventually result in some level of sophisticated AI/machine learning in your organization. Every organization needs to mobilize its resources and enhance its analytics capabilities to quickly and incrementally add value to data products and services. However, most organizations fail to mobilize their resources in this way.

Impact and Result

  • Firms become more agile when they realize efficiencies in their analytics operating models and can quickly implement reusable analytics.
  • IT becomes more flexible and efficient in understanding the business' data needs and eliminates redundant processes.
  • Trust in data-driven decision making goes up with collaboration, engagement, and transparency.
  • There is a clear path to continuous improvement in analytics.
