10 SECRETS IN DEPLOYING BI
#1 Create a Plan!
Doesn’t sound like a secret at all does it?
Well, too few organizations have done this.
The most successful companies always begin
their analytics projects with a clear strategy.
Make sure all key stakeholders are aligned by
writing down collaborating departmental
company needs:
• What you’re trying to achieve
• Who you’re trying to reach
• Why it matters
• How you’ll measure success
#2 Secret
Use business discovery
to spotlight data quality
issues
If you’re waiting for perfect data, you’ll be
waiting forever. Instead, use your analytics
tools to spot abnormalities in your data and
learn from them. Then, engage the people
who own the data and share your insights to
help them fix their processes. By working
together, you can significantly improve your
data quality over time.
#3 Team up with an
expert hint? us …
Info Analytics
The way users visualize data influences the
way they understand it, so aesthetics play an
important role. A good designer can help you
develop an intuitive and effective user
experience and a great look and feel for
dashboards and visualizations. Just
remember that data visualization best
practices always outrank aesthetic design
#4 Learn through trying
and improving
Nobody creates a perfect model for their
data on the first try. And that’s OK. In fact,
you can learn a lot about your data by
exploring it from different angles. Let
everyone connect with the data in their own
ways — you’ll be amazed at what they
discover. Use what they do to inform your
strategy (secret #1).
#5 Sell it to Mgt & Team
Unlike other software projects, adoption of
analytics is voluntary in your organization. So,
if you want people to know you have a better
solution, act like a software vendor and start
promoting it. Enlist the help of your
marketing department and sell the value of
analytics throughout your entire organization
#6 Find a Champion!
Choose an influential person or team member
that has an unmet need and empower them
with analytics and BI business intelligence
reporting. Turn them into believers by showing
them what’s important to making better
decisions and possibilities that data provides
them to easing their job and promoting real
time decisions that provide value to the
company and business operations.
#7 Build a Cross
Functional Team
When BI and Analytics makes it easy to repeat
successes and avoid failures, it will sell itself!.
Bring together a cross functional team and put
them in charge of:
• Deciding the of BI and Analytics
• Defining the standards & tools
• Identifying best practices & gaps
• Iterating & improving the solution over
time
#8 Have dual processes
If you’re changing the way you measure KPI’s,
you need to take your time and get it right!.
But, sometimes you have to develop an app
right now to analyze a unique and urgent
situation. Make sure you have a different
process in place for both and know that it is OK
to build temporary apps for one-off projects!
#9 Tip the Balance
Away from Reports
Most BI deployments focus on pushing out the
same backward looking reports that we’ve used
for decades. But providing a description of the
situation isn’t where the analytic value is for
decision makers. They need to know “Why?”,
not just “what?”. So, rebalance your efforts to
focus on diagnostic discovery and exploration
capabilities of your processes and data!
#10 Turn your data in a
profit center!
Are you sitting on an information golf mine?
Would outside organizations pay good money
to access your proprietary data? Or, could you
use it to add value for your customers? Step
back and think creatively, out of the box, about
the ways you could monetize the data you
already own and what other benefits this
information provides both customers and your
company profitability!
Your path to success is no longer a secret!
So, what are you waiting for?
