Editor's Notes
- Analytics used to gain insights that ultimately lead to better / real business outcomes.
- We normally dive straight in to data in hope of finding helpful conclusions
- Analytics reports are usually too complicated to understand and therefore not used OR too simplistic and therefore don’t provide enough meaning to be useful.
- but this tends not to lead to useful insights.
- The way to find these is to define what you want to know first. Start with basic question: what ultimately are you looking to achieve online?
- Let’s say it’s to drive online subscriptions. These are the sort of key questions to focus on, as they relate directly to your ultimate objective.
- Map ‘key performance indicators’ on to these questions, then seek values for them in Analytics.
- Putting questions first lets you cut straight through the relevant data. The most relevant and actionable insights will stem from that.
- Another example of this process: me looking to maximise impact of presentation: my aims on the slide.
- Looking for analytics to answer questions directly relating to those aims, with relevant KPIs. The gives best chance of reaching actionable insights
- like ‘it’s better when audience members drink coffee’.
- Analysis now straightforward and immediately and clearly usable because fully driven by / tied to your bottom line aim.
- You have the right data now but not always easy to know what changes to make.
- Controlled experimentation is a valuable way of finding the right response to make. ‘fail’ asap by identifying deficient areas and changing them.
- a/b testing answer question of what changes to make. It’s also a powerful way of getting changes made. It bypasses delays and opinions that typify the normal process of analyst > decision maker > inaction.
- Squiz Analytics has a great a/b testing feature.
