Organisations are finding it hard to navigate a deluge of data about customers, employees, suppliers, stakeholders, partners and competitors.
We identified the top 5 areas where better data quality and analysis would have the biggest impact.
Advanced analytics uses sophisticated techniques like machine learning, data mining, and predictive modeling to gain deeper insights from data beyond traditional business intelligence. While executives see the potential benefits, most companies are unsure how to implement advanced analytics. The document recommends starting with targeted efforts to build models from existing data sources and transform organizational culture, rather than massive overhauls. This balanced approach can help companies develop analytics capabilities and maintain flexibility as technologies and opportunities evolve.
This document discusses how advanced analytics and big data have become top priorities for companies. It argues that big data has the potential to transform businesses and deliver major performance gains. However, companies need to carefully define a pragmatic strategy for using data and analytics, focusing on how to make better decisions. The key is having a clear strategy for how to use data to compete and deploying the right IT architecture and analytical capabilities. Past failures with CRM show that analytics initiatives need to align with companies' processes and decision-making.
This document discusses how companies can make advanced analytics work for them. It notes that while big data is attracting investment, most companies are unsure how to implement it. It recommends that companies 1) choose the right data sources, 2) build models that predict and optimize business outcomes, and 3) transform their capabilities to develop analytics that managers understand and can use daily. The key is aligning analytics with business goals and processes rather than just focusing on data itself.
The document discusses how finance analytics can help organizations by reducing risk and instilling confidence in decision making through gaining control over analytical processes. It describes how modernizing financial processes and putting core finance data in a centralized system can free the finance function from inefficiencies and allow it to focus on value-added analysis. Implementing finance analytics solutions can increase finance efficiency, enable more effective business partnering, and support better risk analysis and decision making.
Big data and analytics have become top priorities for companies. To fully leverage data, companies need the ability to collect and manage multiple data sources, build advanced analytics models, and transform their organization to make better decisions using data and models. While skepticism exists, companies that learn core big data skills may gain a competitive advantage, as these capabilities become more important for competition.
Making advanced analytics work for youAyushi Verma
Big data, if not used properly, can result in losses for a company rather than increased profits. Early attempts to use customer data from CRM software in the 1990s failed because companies did not understand how to implement the complex changes needed to manage large datasets. For big data to be successful, companies must identify diverse data sources, build advanced analytics models, and properly manage data extraction and analysis to achieve desired business outcomes. Asking what decisions could be made with better information can help companies realize what data they already have access to.

Big data and analytics have become a top priority for companies. The document discusses how big data can transform businesses by delivering large performance gains similar to those achieved in the 1990s during business process redesign. Research shows companies using big data and analytics have productivity and profitability 5-6% higher than peers. While executives are cautious given past hype around technologies, the authors believe companies should take a pragmatic approach and focus on using data to make better decisions. This involves identifying, combining, and managing multiple data sources, building advanced analytics models, and transforming the organization to ensure data and models yield improved decisions.
This document summarizes the findings of a 2017 enterprise analytics study. It finds that analytics has become mainstream across industries and business functions. Most companies report high levels of analytics adoption and satisfaction, seeing benefits across finance, sales, marketing and supply chain. However, many companies still face obstacles around budgets, technology, security and skills. The document recommends that companies create a cultural transformation around analytics, develop hybrid analytics expertise models, and rapidly adapt to emerging technologies like machine learning and AI to stay ahead on the analytics road ahead.
The data economy is growing globally with more and more organization realizing their core data asset's value. Start here to understand how your company can start your data monetization strategy.
1) Data is a strategic lever and fundamental building block for driving organizational growth. Companies typically grow through market expansion, new buyers, new offerings, acquisitions, and productivity.
2) Marketers face challenges in understanding market opportunities, matching customer personas to contacts, assessing the impact of new offerings and acquisitions, and optimizing processes.
3) The top priorities for contact data management are acquiring new contacts and cleansing front-end and back-end data to improve data quality and downstream performance metrics.
This document discusses how companies can make advanced analytics work for them by developing three key capabilities: 1) Choosing the right data sources creatively and getting necessary IT support, 2) Building models that predict and optimize business outcomes by focusing on business opportunities, and 3) Transforming company capabilities by developing business-relevant analytics, embedding them into front-line tools, and developing analytical skills. Fully exploiting data and analytics requires developing all three of these mutually supportive capabilities.
This document discusses how Oracle Analytics can help companies gain competitive advantages through data-driven insights. It promotes Oracle Analytics as a solution that allows users to access and analyze data from multiple sources, gain predictive insights through machine learning and artificial intelligence, and empower business users to perform self-service analytics. Case studies are presented showing how Oracle customers in media/entertainment and consumer services have used Oracle Analytics to accelerate financial reporting, optimize operations through sales predictions, and free up time for more analysis.

Financial analytics can help companies answer important strategic questions by providing forward-looking insights from large amounts of internal and external data. It moves beyond traditional financial reporting to help shape business strategy and improve real-time decision making. By analyzing risks, processes, investments, customer profitability, and other factors, financial analytics helps optimize profits and predict future impacts on key business drivers and stock price. It arms finance leaders with visual tools to understand complex information and partner more strategically with other areas of the business.
This document discusses how companies can benefit from big data and analytics. It states that companies using big data and analytics show 5-6% higher productivity and profitability. To benefit, companies must identify and manage multiple data sources, build advanced analytics models, and transform their organization to make better decisions based on data and models. This requires a clear strategy for competing with data and the right technology. The challenges include choosing the right data, building models that optimize outcomes, and transforming capabilities so managers understand and trust models.

Banks are increasingly recognizing the importance of customer centricity and analyzing customer data, but many are struggling to maximize the value of their data due to legacy systems, a lack of analytics talent and skills, and privacy concerns. Banks need to establish robust data management frameworks, develop analytics talent through targeted recruitment and training, and promote a culture where data is viewed as a key asset for decision-making rather than just an IT project.

Introduction
Big Data is the biggest hame-changing opportunity for marketing and sales
since the Internet went mainstream almost 20 years ago. The data big bang
has unleashed torrents of terabytes about everything from customer behaviors
to weather patterns to demographic consumer shifts in emerging markets.
The companies who are successful in turning data into above-market growth
will excel at three things:
ƒ Using analytics to identify valuable business opportunities from the data to
drive decisions and improve marketing return on investment (MROI)
ƒ Turning those insights into well-designed products and offers that delight
customers
ƒ Delivering those products and offers effectively to the marketplace.
This goldmine of data represents a pivot-point moment for marketing and
sales leaders. Companies that inject big data and analytics into their operation
show productivity rates and profitability that are 5 percent to 6 percent hight
than those of their peers. That’s an advantage no company can afford to
gnome.
This compendium explores the business opportunities, company examples,
and organizational implications of Big Data and advanced analytics. We hope
it provokes good and useful conversations.
Please contact us with your reactions and thoughts.

The new ‘A and B’ of the Finance Function: Analytics and Big Data - -Evolutio...Balaji Venkat Chellam Iyer
Published in 2013, this White Paper discusses how the finance function would evolve with the combined forces of Big Data and Analytics and the levers that could help catalyze the change and has drawn upon the Global Trend Study conducted by Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) on how companies were investing in Big Data and deriving returns from it.
- Poor data quality costs the US economy $600 billion annually or 5% of GDP, so it significantly impacts business bottom lines. It also hinders effective customer segmentation and strategic decision making.
- Data quality is defined by how accurate, complete, timely, and consistent the information is. It matters because it affects profits and an executive's ability to make good strategic decisions.
- To ensure good data quality, companies need to build quality processes into gathering, integrating, and leveraging data from multiple sources on an ongoing basis. Outsourcing some of these functions to specialized data partners can complement internal efforts.
"Big data in western europe today" Forrester / Xerox 2015yann le gigan
The document summarizes the findings of a survey conducted by Forrester Consulting on behalf of Xerox regarding big data usage in Western Europe. The key findings are:
1) Senior decision-makers see big data as a top priority and have extensive plans to implement big data initiatives across a wide range of use cases in 2015.
2) Companies expect to see returns on their big data investments within 12 months and are using big data to improve efficiency and manage risk.
3) While big data offers opportunities, respondents acknowledge challenges such as ensuring data quality and integrating big data into decision-making.
Leading enterprise-scale big data business outcomesGuy Pearce
A talk specially prepared for McMaster University. There is more benefit to thinking about big data as a paradigm rather than as a technology, as it helps shape these projects in the context of resolving some of the enterprise's greatest challenges, including its competitive positioning. This approach integrates the operating model, the business model and the strategy in the solution, which improves the ability of the project to actually deliver its intended value. I support this position with a case study that created audited financial value for a major global bank.
The document discusses key trends in data management identified by global research. It finds organizations are increasingly focused on understanding customers as individuals to offer personalized service. However, inaccurate and incomplete data undermines customer experience for many. Experts recommend using data to develop a single view of each customer by linking all available information. This would allow real-time insights and responses tailored to individual customers, improving relationships and sales. Achieving accurate and comprehensive customer data remains a challenge for most organizations.
Magenta advisory: Data Driven Decision Making –Is Your Organization Ready Fo...BearingPoint Finland
It’s nice to have loads of data. Nevertheless, many managers start to sweat when it comes to genuinely fact-based decision making. This study reveals the keys to leveraging big data successfully.
This document discusses how big data and advanced analytics can provide opportunities for chief financial officers to enhance their functions and create more value for their organizations. It provides examples of how analytics can improve forecasting, working capital optimization, capital allocation, risk management, and other areas. The document also presents a case study of how State Street used analytics to improve investment insights and decision-making. It concludes with the CFO of McKinsey discussing how analytics can enhance finance capabilities.
Acquire Grow & Retain customers - The business imperative for Big DataIBM Software India
The emergence of Big Data and Analytics has changed the way marketing decisions are made. Marketing has moved away from traditional ‘generalisation’ practices such as customer segmentation, geographical targeting etc. and is focussing more on the individual – the ‘Chief Executive Customer’.
The document discusses a survey of 300 enterprise organizations about data ownership and big data initiatives. It finds that marketing and sales are most involved in purchase decisions, but sales, business development, and insights/analytics have the most influence. Most functions see their involvement peaking late in the purchase process. Organizations need strategies to align functional areas and determine influence. Data initiatives are being driven by needs for better analytics, marketing intelligence, and predictive capabilities rather than just data quality issues.

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs
