Probably the most pressing question for anyone in charge of the company's BI analytics projects is deciding what issue to tackle the next. There's no shortage of good candidates, and the list of options could be overwhelming. However, the implementation of a tried and tested selection method is comparatively straightforward, and can be broken down into a series of easy to follow steps.
It is possible to pinpoint your greatest issues
The first step to picking the appropriate projetos analytics is likely to be the easiest -- identifying the most pressing issues. It could be that you are not doing enough on sales, manufacturing is inefficient or you're not able to locate resources that are at standards of price. Most likely, you already know what they are and will not require too much time to create your list. It's not necessary to study the list too much now, but it is essential that you note everything down.
Do you know if this issue has an analytics element?
There's now a list of problems. You can filter the list by determining which issues have analytics. The following article provides the answer to the question. There are certain problems that analytics will not solve. If your parent company in the world has implemented a policy change that is negatively impacting your business For instance you're probably not able to determine if using analytics to solve the issue. The goal is to narrow the list of issues to those where analytics will help. This includes, for instance, forecasting, market and consumer segmentation, decision-support and the management of campaigns. Is there a suggestion? An offer?
Establish where analytics will be able to
Having whittled the list of issues to those that analytics may help, you must now define at what stage (or levels) of the related enterprise process might the implementation of analytics make a significant impact on decisions. For instance, think about an online fashion store putting together a seasonal collection of winter jackets to teens. How many times in the course of this procedure could data collide and decisions be required? There will probably be historic data on sales, loyalty card information, weather data and national demographics (there are more teenagers in Manukau than Tauranga to name a few). If you're not doing it, this is probably a good time to engage professionals in analytics and insights (in-house or outside) and determine three points:
1. What kinds of decisions can be better made with analytics?
2. What would it cost beneficial to enhance these choices by using analytics?
3. What is the probable cost of undertaking the required analysis?
Assess and decide
You are almost there. You have identified the bi g issues that involve BI's analytics and pinpointed where data and decision-making is interconnected with the processes behind those issues. It is possible to gain value improved by enhancing these decision-making processes, and the cost to do so have been quantified. The next step is to estimate. If you think the returns are going to be minimal or mediocre take those tasks on the back burner, because there's another way to handle them.
You've now got your high-value project analytical. What's the last filter? If you've got a few choices but aren't certain which one to pick make sure that the top prioritisation is given to ones that align to your company's vision for strategic growth.
