Data Everywhere…
• Clearly an often used term, and perhaps over-hyped…but:
• It simply means basing your business decisions on actual data coming from your business operations and activities (e.g. sales, forecasts, HR data, financial info, etc.)
• Every commercial and public sector operation is collecting huge amounts of information
• Generated by people, machines, applications• Structured and unstructured• Stored in a variety of locations, systems etc.• Spreadsheets remain the most common
data source for business users.
What Does “Data-Driven” Actually Mean?
• Every commercial and public sector operation is collecting information
• Data is generated by people, machines, applications…just about everyone and everything
• Immense amounts of data are captured and…wait for it…it just sits there!
• The key is to use your data and answer key business questions.
• Good News: Almost anyone can tap into data and start analyzing it
• So, how do you do it?
Who Collects Data and Who Should Use It?
• Start with understanding what you want to know or gain deeper understanding about…then:
1. Get Some Data2. Run it through an analysis tool3. Make informative visualizations
• Yes, it is that easy…because data analysis tools, like Power BI are extremely powerful and relatively easy to use.
