The Missing Link Between Analytics And Trust
“Trust in analytics is lacking:
Less than half are very confident about
the insights they’re deriving from
data and analytics in the areas of risk
and security, customer insights and
business operations”.
KPMG/Forrester survey of 2,165
business executives from 10 countries
as reported by Analytics Magazine

The Missing Link Between Analytics And Value
“Most companies are capturing
only a fraction of the potential
of data and analytics” Mckinsey
“Value will accrue to providers of
analytics, but some data generators
… will have unique value. Large value
associated with accuracy of
predictions” McKinsey Institute
McKinsey barriers to value creation:
• Data is siloed or fragmented
• Underutilized assets (the relative
value of various assets has
shifted)
• New digital disruptors can
circumvent barriers to entry
• Decision making is subject to
human biases

The Missing Link Between Analytics And Value
The battle for long term survival by Martin
Reeves and Lisanne Pueschel, Boston
Consulting Group: analysis of 35,000
companies publicly listed in the US
• “Companies that died younger
tended to generate lower lifetime
EBIT combined with accelerated
growth”
• “Longer-lived companies thus
appear to create more value than
fast-growing, short-lived ones”.

In the era of the:

Context risk alerts such as gaps to the Best In Class

precede and are more powerful than isolated
indicators based on quarterly product-delivery
or “beating quarterly analysts expectations”.
