Discover how self-service operational analytics can help business leaders and management teams close the strategy to execution gap. Strategy is supposed to differentiate companies, creating new blue oceans of growth, yet often senior executives lay out new, exciting business plans without arming their employees with the plans, capabilities and insights required to execute their vision. They essentially expect to achieve significantly better results with the same intelligence and resources they have always had. HINT: To close the strategic execution GAP transform your operational data into actionable insight
