Our Point of View
Data is more than information; data requires
storytelling and context to be valuable.
Robust forecasting is translating analytics into the
people and product at the right place at the right
Reporting serves a purpose, but analytics get to
the “why” behind the what.
Break the barriers of stereotypical data scientists.
Ask a
question
about “what
happened”
Create a metric
to answer
Analyze data and
uncover “why it
happened”
Use data to
hypothesize
“what will happen”
Adjust business
strategy based
on insights
Foundation:
Exploring Metrics
that Matter

Analysis, Action,

Guest Journeys with…
and without Data
“Welcome back, Ms.
Wiley! How was your
holiday in Charleston?”
“Welcome! May I have the
name for the reservation?”
“Ms. Wiley, I’ve brought out
the Barbaresco you enjoyed
last time, as well as a bottle
of Aglianico I think you
might like. Or, we have the
full wine list – Italian reds on
page 3!”
“Here is our full wine list –
take a look and let me know
if you have any questions.”
We know you’re a
truffle lover – join
us at our pop-up
truffle dinner next
Monday!
Come dine at any
of our
restaurants!
“Next time you
order an entrée for
delivery, enjoy
your favorite
margherita pizza –
on us!”
“Try ordering
pickup or delivery;
here’s $10 off your
next order.”
