• Attend with other departments orientations and business
meetings + daily/weekly sync for a period of time.
• Understand their goals and objectives

• Lean Six Sigma is a great start as you will learn process
mapping, CTQs/CTPs, 6W2H, 5 Whys, Fishbone and many
other mini-tools to shape your general process thinking
• Your organization’s tools are the top priority
• Make it a habit to test and check other tools
• Make it a habit to check other business cases
• To master the tools, teach and mentor others

with others

24. KPIs should be cascaded from
the Management’s Priorities
25. The CEO should focus 80/20 + 4DX

26. Only Select KPI’s that you can have
an impact on, control, and accurately
reliable.
• Measuring Rates are much better than
measuring totals or averages
• Customers per Week is a much better
metric than Total Customers, because it
immediately answers the question, "did
our marketing efforts succeed this
week?" The total will always go up, but
the only way the rate goes up is if our
marketing efforts are working.
Here are the Top
Points Were We Can

27. Set goals/targets and compare
• Total Monthly Recurring Revenue is the
big exception we make to the "No totals"
rule, and that's because it has a big fat
goal associated with it: becoming
profitable.
• Also totals doesn’t make it actionable
from anyone's side.
• The Action plan behund the In-process
measures is much more important to
focus on rather than the KPI itself.
Here are the Top
Points Were We Can

Business with
28. Everything revolves around the process
• Understand the Overall business strategy
• Ensure that everyone get’s it (What does it mean for
me and my department)
• Define the critical control points to understand how to
influence your business
• Put the KPIs on the process and the area where the
value change, not at the end
• Segregate KPIs into Output measures, and in-
process measures. If we control the in-process ones,
surely the output will be correct
• Choose the most important ones to focus on (OGSM)

29. Choosing metrics with clear
ownership
• Having a metric that's controlled by two
different teams is a problem because it lets
one team's failure hide in another's success.
So it should be split.
• RACI is the most effective way.
• Personalized / Departmentalized scorecards
are highly recommended.
• Centralized Team/Product Score card is of
great importance to everyone and the
company. This is where you Audit and
Change action plans.

30. It is all about Customers
• Discover what’s most important to each group of
“Audience”, then build Traits from a heap of raw
data. Subsequently, personalize their experience.
• Personalize messages and keep them consistent
across channels.
• “Behavioral” data usage is the right approach
rather than “market segment” data. Remember
twins at the same house hold, have different
interests and behaviors although they are from the
same market segment.
• Improving customers’ active engagement will
increase loyalty that will lead to more revenues.

Crafting a Unified, Insight-

Don’t treat analytics team as a cost center rather treat it as a growth driver
Don’t get distracted with your passion to technology, focus on business priorities
Don’t treat analytics team as a cost center rather treat it as a growth driver
Don’t get distracted with your passion to technology, focus on business priorities
You don’t need a data scientist on a weekly basis; but you need Process Performance and feedback to optimize on a shiftily basis.
Data Scientist hiring is a sexy job for the hired people and the owner… but do you seriously needed ! Don’t depend/have hopes on incomplete algorisms, don’t depend heavily on prediction models. Everything revolves around business value and focus
