5. Analytical deployment is about enhancing the full
organization, not just adding competences
Analytics is a way to do business mainly with your current business
model
• It is therefore not just a competence you can centralize or
departmentalize (parking)
• But it cuts through silo’s of the organization to deliver (sharing)
Many development frameworks exist to support this deployment, and
all aim at
• Supporting a cultural shift
• Aligning management
• Building benefits for all actors
• Locking it in into daily processes

14. “Let’s find out how to get more out of your data and analytics …”
The TOP 10 responses / excuses:
1 We have lots of data but not a lot of info proportionally
2 We have lots of reports and analyses already / We have BI (business
intelligence) all over the place
3 We already analyze too much and act not enough (analysis paralysis)
4 We are already managing our performance quite well
5 We are improving our operations continuously; what could this bring
more ? / Management will not be supportive
6 No way you can ever have this company increasing analytical
intelligence across the board
7 You can’t really talk with data people
8 We already have analysts
9 I’m in B2B, not B2C / I have resellers or partners, not end-customers
10 We don’t have much or usable data / We wait for our CRM system first
