Building a Data Strategy – Practical Steps for Aligning with Business GoalsDATAVERSITY
Developing a Data Strategy for your organization can seem like a daunting task – but it’s worth the effort. Getting your Data Strategy right can provide significant value, as data drives many of the key initiatives in today’s marketplace, from digital transformation to marketing, customer centricity, population health, and more. This webinar will help demystify Data Strategy and its relationship to Data Architecture and will provide concrete, practical ways to get started.
Data Architecture, Solution Architecture, Platform Architecture — What’s the ...DATAVERSITY
A solid data architecture is critical to the success of any data initiative. But what is meant by “data architecture”? Throughout the industry, there are many different “flavors” of data architecture, each with its own unique value and use cases for describing key aspects of the data landscape. Join this webinar to demystify the various architecture styles and understand how they can add value to your organization.
The Role of Data Governance in a Data StrategyDATAVERSITY
A Data Strategy is a plan for moving an organization towards a more data-driven culture. A Data Strategy is often viewed as a technical exercise. A modern and comprehensive Data Strategy addresses more than just the data; it is a roadmap that defines people, process, and technology. The people aspect includes governance, the execution and enforcement of authority, and formalization of accountability over the management of the data.
In this RWDG webinar, Bob Seiner will share where Data Governance fits into an effective Data Strategy. As part of the strategy, the program must focus on the governance of people, process, and technology fixated on treating and leveraging data as a valued asset. Join us to learn about the role of Data Governance in a Data Strategy.
Bob will address the following in this webinar:
- A structure for delivery of a Data Strategy
- How to address people, process, and technology in a Data Strategy
- Why Data Governance is an important piece of a Data Strategy
- How to include Data Governance in the structure of the policy
- Examples of how governance has been included in a Data Strategy
Business Intelligence (BI) and Data Management Basics amorshed
This document provides an overview of business intelligence (BI) and data management basics. It discusses topics such as digital transformation requirements, data strategy, data governance, data literacy, and becoming a data-driven organization. The document emphasizes that in the digital age, data is a key asset and organizations need to focus on data management in order to make informed decisions. It also stresses the importance of data culture and competency for successful BI and data initiatives.
To take a “ready, aim, fire” tactic to implement Data Governance, many organizations assess themselves against industry best practices. The process is not difficult or time-consuming and can directly assure that your activities target your specific needs. Best practices are always a strong place to start.
Join Bob Seiner for this popular RWDG topic, where he will provide the information you need to set your program in the best possible direction. Bob will walk you through the steps of conducting an assessment and share with you a set of typical results from taking this action. You may be surprised at how easy it is to organize the assessment and may hear results that stimulate the actions that you need to take.
In this webinar, Bob will share:
- The value of performing a Data Governance best practice assessment
- A practical list of industry Data Governance best practices
- Criteria to determine if a practice is best practice
- Steps to follow to complete an assessment
- Typical recommendations and actions that result from an assessment
The document discusses modern data architectures. It presents conceptual models for data ingestion, storage, processing, and insights/actions. It compares traditional vs modern architectures. The modern architecture uses a data lake for storage and allows for on-demand analysis. It provides an example of how this could be implemented on Microsoft Azure using services like Azure Data Lake Storage, Azure Data Bricks, and Azure Data Warehouse. It also outlines common data management functions such as data governance, architecture, development, operations, and security.
Data Lakehouse Symposium | Day 1 | Part 2Databricks
The world of data architecture began with applications. Next came data warehouses. Then text was organized into a data warehouse.
Then one day the world discovered a whole new kind of data that was being generated by organizations. The world found that machines generated data that could be transformed into valuable insights. This was the origin of what is today called the data lakehouse. The evolution of data architecture continues today.
Come listen to industry experts describe this transformation of ordinary data into a data architecture that is invaluable to business. Simply put, organizations that take data architecture seriously are going to be at the forefront of business tomorrow.
This is an educational event.
Several of the authors of the book Building the Data Lakehouse will be presenting at this symposium.
Verizon: Finance Data Lake implementation as a Self Service Discovery Big Dat...DataWorks Summit
Finance Data Lake objective is to create a centralized enterprise data repository for all Finance and Supply Chain data. It serves as the single source of truth. It enables a self-service discovery Analytics platform for business users to answer adhoc business questions and derive critical insights. The data lake is based on open source Hadoop big data platform and a very cost effective solution in breaking the ERP data silos and simplifying the data architecture in the enterprise.
POCs were conducted on in-house Hortonworks Hadoop data platform to validate the cluster performance for Production volumes. Based on business priorities, an initial roadmap was defined using 3 data sources including 2 SAP ERPs and Peoplesoft (OLTP systems). Development environment was established in AWS Cloud for agile delivery. The near real time data ingestion architecture for the data lake was defined using replication tools and custom SQOOP based micro-batching framework and data persisted in Apache Hive DB in ORC format. Data and user security is implemented using Apache Ranger and sensitive data stored at rest in encryption zones. Business data sets were developed in Hive scripts and scheduled using Oozie. Multiple reporting tools connectivity including SQL tools, Excel and Tableau were enabled for Self-service Analytics. Upon successful implementation of the initial phase, a full roadmap is established to extend the Finance data lake to over 25 data sources and enhance data ingestion to scale as well as enable OLAP tools on Hadoop.

Developing a Data Strategy for your organization can seem like a daunting task. The opportunity in getting it right can be significant, however, as data drives many of the key initiatives in today’s marketplace from digital transformation, to marketing, to customer centricity, population health, and more. This webinar will help de-mystify data strategy and data architecture and will provide concrete, practical ways to get started.
The world of business intelligence and analytics has changed from one that IT was providing the information in an organisation to more self-service data analytics that the end user has the ability to access and consume the data from a platform such as a data warehouse, as well as being able to enhance their data analytics with other data sources. In addition, the users now can easily share content and collaborate with other users. This has enabled businesses to leverage from making better decisions in more agile way. However, giving the users a lot of freedom in accessing and sharing data without any governance can expose the businesses to serious security and privacy risks.
In this session, we discussed what governance means when it comes to Power BI and how to implement an organisation-wide governance framework for Power BI ecosystem, without preventing the business to naturally grow in its analytics capability a long with some real-world examples and good practices.
Tackling Data Quality problems requires more than a series of tactical, one-off improvement projects. By their nature, many Data Quality problems extend across and often beyond an organization. Addressing these issues requires a holistic architectural approach combining people, process, and technology. Join Nigel Turner and Donna Burbank as they provide practical ways to control Data Quality issues in your organization.
Five Things to Consider About Data Mesh and Data GovernanceDATAVERSITY
Data mesh was among the most discussed and controversial enterprise data management topics of 2021. One of the reasons people struggle with data mesh concepts is we still have a lot of open questions that we are not thinking about:
Are you thinking beyond analytics? Are you thinking about all possible stakeholders? Are you thinking about how to be agile? Are you thinking about standardization and policies? Are you thinking about organizational structures and roles?
Join data.world VP of Product Tim Gasper and Principal Scientist Juan Sequeda for an honest, no-bs discussion about data mesh and its role in data governance.
At wetter.com we build analytical B2B data products and heavily use Spark and AWS technologies for data processing and analytics. I explain why we moved from AWS EMR to Databricks and Delta and share our experiences from different angles like architecture, application logic and user experience. We will look how security, cluster configuration, resource consumption and workflow changed by using Databricks clusters as well as how using Delta tables simplified our application logic and data operations.
The first step towards understanding what data assets mean for your organization is understanding what those assets mean for each other. Metadata—literally, data about data—is one of many data management disciplines inherent in good systems development, and is perhaps the most mislabeled and misunderstood out of the lot. Understanding metadata and its associated technologies as more than just straightforward technological tools can provide powerful insight, the efficiency of organizational practices, and can also enable you to combine more sophisticated data management techniques in support of larger and more complex business initiatives.
In this webinar, we will:
Illustrate how to leverage metadata in support of your business strategy
Discuss foundational metadata concepts based on the DAMA Guide to Data Management Book of Knowledge (DAMA DMBOK)
Enumerate guiding principles for and lessons previously learned from metadata and its practical uses
The document discusses data mesh vs data fabric architectures. It defines data mesh as a decentralized data processing architecture with microservices and event-driven integration of enterprise data assets across multi-cloud environments. The key aspects of data mesh are that it is decentralized, processes data at the edge, uses immutable event logs and streams for integration, and can move all types of data reliably. The document then provides an overview of how data mesh architectures have evolved from hub-and-spoke models to more distributed designs using techniques like kappa architecture and describes some use cases for event streaming and complex event processing.
A conceptual data model (CDM) uses simple graphical images to describe core concepts and principles of an organization at a high level. A CDM facilitates communication between businesspeople and IT and integration between systems. It needs to capture enough rules and definitions to create database systems while remaining intuitive. Conceptual data models apply to both transactional and dimensional/analytics modeling. While different notations can be used, the most important thing is that a CDM effectively conveys an organization's key concepts.
Presentation on Data Mesh: The paradigm shift is a new type of eco-system architecture, which is a shift left towards a modern distributed architecture in which it allows domain-specific data and views “data-as-a-product,” enabling each domain to handle its own data pipelines.
Data Lake Architecture – Modern Strategies & ApproachesDATAVERSITY
Data Lake or Data Swamp? By now, we’ve likely all heard the comparison. Data Lake architectures have the opportunity to provide the ability to integrate vast amounts of disparate data across the organization for strategic business analytic value. But without a proper architecture and metadata management strategy in place, a Data Lake can quickly devolve into a swamp of information that is difficult to understand. This webinar will offer practical strategies to architect and manage your Data Lake in a way that optimizes its success.
Presentation on Business Requirements gathering for Business Intelligence from our BI Practice Lead. Detailed instruction on how to maximize your time in gathering requirements and ensure you capture what is important to the user. Requirements gathering is critical to the success of a BI project.
Enterprise Architecture vs. Data ArchitectureDATAVERSITY
Enterprise Architecture (EA) provides a visual blueprint of the organization, and shows key interrelationships between data, process, applications, and more. By abstracting these assets in a graphical view, it’s possible to see key interrelationships, particularly as they relate to data and its business impact across the organization. Join us for a discussion on how Data Architecture is a key component of an overall Enterprise Architecture for enhanced business value and success.

Data Governance — Aligning Technical and Business ApproachesDATAVERSITY
Data Governance can have a varied definition, depending on the audience. To many, data governance consists of committee meetings and stewardship roles. To others, it focuses on technical data management and controls. Holistic data governance combines both of these aspects, and a robust data architecture and associated diagrams can be the “glue” that binds business and IT governance together. Join this webinar for practical tips and hands-on exercises for aligning data architecture & data governance for business and IT success.
Power BI is a business analytics service that allows users to connect to data, model and visualize data, and share insights. It includes the Power BI service, Power BI Desktop, and Power BI Premium.

Power BI Desktop is a free desktop application for building reports and data models. Power BI Premium provides dedicated cloud capacity for large-scale deployments and on-premises gateways.
Real-World Data Governance: Data Governance ExpectationsDATAVERSITY
When starting a Data Governance program, significant time, effort and bandwidth is typically spent selling the concept of data governance and telling people in your organization what data governance will do for them. This may not be the best strategy to take. We should focus on making Data Governance THEIR idea not ours.
Shouldn’t the strategy be that we get the business people from our organization to tell US why data governance is necessary and what data governance will do for them? If only we could get them to tell us these things? Maybe we can.
Join Bob Seiner and DATAVERSITY for this informative Real-World Data Governance webinar that will focus on getting THEM to tell US where data governance will add value. Seiner will review techniques for acquiring this information and will share information of where this information will add specific value to your data governance program. Some of those places may surprise you.

What's the relationship between digital disruption and digital transformation? How can organisations manage their digital transformations better and achieve their business transformations faster? What role does digital culture play and how do you develop a digital culture?
New Zealand businesses and government agencies are all facing the effects of digital technology and responding to the changing nature of market expectations.
In this presentation, delivered at Solnet's CXO Digital Transformation seminars, Phil Coop, (Digital Transformation Director, Solnet) discusses the roles of focus, innovation, team structure, culture, data, and UX as ingredients to a successful digital transformation.
Data is a key enabler of digital transformation and innovation. It fuels new digital processes and solutions. To benefit from data, organizations must first define and organize core master data and then acquire the right competencies to analyze and combine both structured and unstructured internal and external data. This will allow organizations to discover innovative solutions through a "data-lab" approach and trials. Ensuring high quality master and process data is also important to enable seamless experiences across systems.
Peter Weill discusses four pathways to digital business transformation:
1. Operational Excellence - Focus on efficiency through automation and standardization.
2. New Organization - Make major changes through organizational "explosions" like overhauling decision rights.
3. Customer Experience - Prioritize the customer experience through initiatives like omnichannel capabilities.
4. Stair Steps - Incremental changes through a series of smaller steps rather than one big transformation.
He found that globally most companies are about one-third complete in their transformations, with Australia similar at 26-38% on average across the four pathways.
The document discusses the emergence and future of the Chief Data Officer (CDO) role. It outlines how data strategies have evolved from governance to monetization as data has increased in volume and importance. The CDO role emerged to oversee organizations' data as a strategic asset. Successful CDOs demonstrate six personas: Evangelist, Educator, Protector, Quant, Architect, and Politician. These personas focus on strategy, education, governance, analytics, architecture, and stakeholder management. The document concludes that for CDOs to be effective, they must find the right person, demonstrate quick wins, avoid distractions, build a team, secure funding, and ease disruptions caused by changes in how the
Information Governance: Reducing Costs and Increasing Customer SatisfactionCapgemini
The document discusses best practices for information governance, including how it can help organizations reduce costs and increase customer satisfaction. It provides an overview of SAP and Capgemini's information governance best practices and addresses common questions clients have around data issues. Information governance is important because data is a key organizational asset, and governance helps ensure consistent, accurate data is available for reporting and decision making. Lack of governance can lead to issues like multiple versions of the truth and inefficient processes. The benefits of effective information governance include reduced costs through improved data management, better decisions from leveraging high-quality data, and increased customer satisfaction.
Data Integrity: From speed dating to lifelong partnershipPrecisely
Governance has little to do with governance…it’s about delivering and demonstrating value. It’s one thing for your colleagues to intellectually believe in the value of data, good data, and governed data, but it’s another thing entirely to have them emotionally engaged and excited to be involved. In this presentation from the CDO Sit-Down series, Shaun Connolly, Vice President of International Strategic Services, shares his thoughts and experience on approaches to win over reluctant leaders and business teams and describe the key components of successful programs.
Data Governance Strategies - With Great Power Comes Great AccountabilityDATAVERSITY
Much like project team management and home improvement, data governance sounds a lot simpler than it actually is. In a nutshell, data governance is the process by which an organization delegates responsibility and exercises control over mission-critical data assets. In practice, though, data governance directs how all other data management functions are performed, meaning that much of your data management strategy’s capacity to function at all depends on your effectiveness in governing its implementation. Understanding these aspects of governance is necessary to eliminate the ambiguity that often surrounds effective data management and stewardship programs, since the goal of governance is to manage the data that supports organizational strategy.
This webinar will:
-Illustrate what data governance functions are required for effective data management, how they fit with other data management disciplines, and why data governance can be tricky for many organizations
-Help you develop a detailed vocabulary and set of narratives to facilitate understanding of your business objectives and imperatives that demand governance
-Provide direction for selling data governance to organizational management as a specifically motivated initiative

Jumping Hurdles: How Leaders Who Think Big Overcome Challenges to Crafting Lo...Francis Wade
Jumping Hurdles: How Leaders Overcome Challenges and Craft Their Long-Term Strategic Plans
You are someone who believes in the power of long-term thinking. As such, you welcome the idea of long-term strategic planning.
However, while a vast majority of executives agree, a meager number actually have written plans which stretch more than five years. Why the discrepancy?
Many are just too busy.
Others believe they are alone and therefore can't convince their board, colleagues, or staff to begin.
Some perceive the effort would take too long, and cost too much.
A few are afraid that if they put a plan in place, it would need to be changed so quickly that they'd feel foolish for trying to find certainty in a world of war, pandemics and disruptive technologies like Ai.
A majority have no idea what process to use.
And so on.
Meanwhile 45% of CEO's are still not confident that their companies would survive more than a decade on their current path. (PWC)
Come to this webinar to explore this conundrum. Whether you are a board member, manager or consultant, you will find a source of fresh insights. Plus, you will learn how to access the latest thinking executives are using to unblock the development of long-term strategic plans which in turn lead to sustainable long-term value.
It's the only way to take all your stakeholders to the next level...at the same time.

effective leadership is crucial for the success and growth of any business. A leader’s style significantly influences how they interact with employees, make decisions, and drive the organization’s vision forward. Understanding leadership styles can help leaders and their teams work more effectively and adapt to changing business environments. In this post, we’ll explore some of the most common leadership styles in business and how each can impact an organization.
Impact of Training Methods on Employee Satisfaction in Commercial Banks of Ba...Dr. Nazrul Islam
Generally, an organization organizes training and development to enhance employees’ performance. Job satisfaction can be increased by acquiring proper knowledge, skill, and attitude
toward the job which has a huge contribution from training. There are a lot of training methods used by the different organizations based on training materials, time, costs, and types of tasks. In
this study, it is assumed that there exists a positive impact of training and development methods on employees’ satisfaction in commercial banks in Bangladesh.
This is empirical research. Both primary and secondary data have been used objectively. Primary data has been collected from the employees of twelve commercial banks. A total number of 250 questionnaires were distributed and 200 representing 80.0% of questionnaires got backed with appropriate filled-up.
There are seven most popular and frequently used methods of training and development
recognized to determine the impact on employees’ job satisfaction. It is revealed from the present study that informal learning has a significant positive impact on employees’ satisfaction in
commercial banks in Bangladesh.

Knowledge flows (tech transfer) have been at the core of globalization, but have hitherto been underemphasized in global economic relations. US, the EU and allies should be supporting standards development process, including via the following recommendations:
* Technological leadership and national security need prioritisation ahead of all other issues
* Make USA and EU a venue for Standards development meetings
* Revise export contracts to encourage Standards participation
* Collaborate with industry and leverage US government convening capabilities
* Double down on STEM education

Shane Windmeyer and The Everyday Power of Inclusion: Why DEI Begins With UsShane Windmeyer
We often hear about Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion—collectively known as DEI—in big settings: corporate boardrooms, university policies, government initiatives. And while those top-down efforts are essential, DEI doesn’t begin with organizations. It begins with people.
It begins with how we greet our coworkers in the morning. How we make room for voices that are often unheard. How we recognize privilege—not with guilt, but with responsibility. It’s in the everyday. The ordinary. The personal.
Shane Windmeyer, a long-respected voice in DEI advocacy, has built his career on this very principle: that inclusion is something we create together, moment by moment. “The work of equity isn’t just policy,” he once wrote. “It’s presence. It’s awareness. It’s choosing connection, again and again.”
Biography of Sean Morgan Storm Boswick.pdfStorm Boswick
Storm Boswick’s educational path began at Ridley College in Ontario, followed by Choate Rosemary Hall. He then attended the University of St. Andrews in Scotland, earning an MA Honours degree in Economic History and International Relations. While at St. Andrews, he served as president of the International Politics Association and was a key varsity golf team member. His academic journey included extensive research for his dissertation at the School of Oriental and African Studies in London, which helped broaden his perspective on international relations and economics.
The dynamic competition paradigm draws on complexity economics and capability theory. It recognizes that dynamic competition may or may not lead to creative destruction. Some innovation is competency enhancing and, ceteris paribus, is socially better than creative destruction. There is an urgent need to adopt a dynamic competition perspective and apply it correctly in an evenhanded manner.

Just presented my analysis of "The Love of the Last Tycoon" by F. Scott Fitzgerald for our course Leadership through Literature, under the guidance of Dr. Yasar Imam at AMU.
Exploring leadership themes through literary narratives offers a powerful lens into ambition, influence, and integrity. This novel, though unfinished, is rich with insights on power dynamics, vision, and the complexities of leading with conviction in a competitive world.
Grateful for the opportunity to engage with such a timeless text and deepen my understanding of leadership beyond conventional frameworks.

Data-Driven companies
What does a manager do?
• Controlling and exploiting the best out of its assets
Assets
• Physical assets
• Hub, modems, routers, BW, .. Inventory, staff, time, …
• Virtual assets
• Licenses, reputation, time, .. AND Data
Work flows ->generates Data flows
Data Hierarchy (data/information/knowledge->Wisdom)
• Informed decisions via High quality data
Poor or low quality data
• Inhibits integration
• misguides analyze
• Failure to decide
• Blockage to action
So What does a manager do?
• Deciding (by deriving value from data) and Acting
• Work flow-> Data flow -> (data -> insight -> decide -> action) -> (improve) work flow (Cycle)
There is a strong need to do Data Management (BI is part of DM)

Why a data-driven organization?
• Gaining a competitive edge through better decision-making and increased efficiency
• increase revenue and reduce costs
• a data-driven organization can trust that it always makes informed decisions upon a foundation that is always reliable and up to date.
• Reducing cost through more efficient, data-driven processes – both administrative and operational – such as overtime or
inventory management
• As such, you remove whim and guesswork from the equation, while simultaneously negating the
garbage-in-garbage-out problem
• Bolstering the quality of products, reputation and organizational processes
• Decision support for operational systems and processes
• which can range from sales, production and marketing, to maintenance, logistics, service delivery, HR and other industry specific needs
• More nimbly (agilely and smartly) adjust to market changes
• Paves the way for being more innovative, proactive and agile
• letting the data reveal new business opportunities for which to adapt
• On top of this, the organization frees up human capital that can be allocated towards efforts
of creating additional value
• Empower your employees, equipping them with the tools to increase their autonomy and
strengthen their decision-making foundation
• a leaner, more efficient organization – and reduced dependency on external assistance
• Reducing cost through more efficient, data-driven processes – both administrative and
operational – such as overtime or inventory management

Why a data-driven organization?
• Increased quality
• Quality in this context is highly connected to accuracy in decision making, sustainability and reputation.
• More data-driven, and hence more qualified decisions, run all the way through your organization, ensuring:
• Increased trust
• improved environment, health & safety (HSE) procedures
• Fewer decisions and reduced loss during production
• Increased product quality
• Increased customer satisfaction
• As for corporate reputation, having precise, actionable data available – and the
know-how to apply them – allows you to: (called BI)
• Make better business decisions
• more precisely communicate with target audiences, where market data are available, strengthening organization-
stakeholder relationship
• being at the bleeding-edge of what is often referred to as the fourth industrial
revolution
• Increases brand awareness
• augments market sentiment
• Attracts tech-savvy, aspiring young talent
• A data-driven organization manages data in such a way that it creates a single
version of the truth
• This means and requires that the data is both relevant, reliable and available

Data Strategy
How to gain support for your data strategy
• Transparency: share data across the business
• Readability: present data that anyone can
understand
• Trackability: track data that monitors business
performance
• Actionability: source data that pinpoints where to
take action
Building a data-driven organization must be rooted in your
organization’s business strategy
Both clear budgetary allocations and leadership involvement on
Data Strategy and Data Culture
It is crucial at this stage to start with your business needs, not
technology
What is the problem I need to solve?
What kind of data would help?
Where will I source it from?
How will I store and safeguard it?
How will I analyze it?
Who will be responsible?
How will it be shared across the team?
How will it be implemented into the team’s working processes?

Data Management
Data
• Is currency, life blood, new oil
• Is an (virtual) asset like any other (physical) asset
• Is a meta-asset that describes other assets
• Key to competitive advantage
• Enabler for decision-making
• Failure to manage data is like failure to manage capital
• Is the means by which an organization knows itself
• So it is a strategic goal: to get (derive) value from data (assets)
• Not only assets but also vital to the day-to-day operations
• When it is exchanged (internally or externally); it can provide information about how an
organization functions -> shows department or company’s data maturity level
• Assumption is that data simply exists. But data does not simply exist. Has to be created or
Obtained
• Data is a form of information and information is a form of data
• Both data and info should be managed

Data Literacy
Data literacy is about making users that are not part of an organization’s data team more data literate.
It’s about educating regular business users about the information available to them and organizing this information
in a way that makes it easy to identify and consume.
When a data governance team acknowledges the importance of data literacy in an organization’s data governance
strategy, the result is a well-defined data catalog that any member of staff can access.
When they don’t, many users are left without access to important data impeding their ability to perform
professionally and contribute to the overall growth of a data-driven company.
Without widespread data literacy and clearly defined data terms and frameworks, communication channels can
break down—and the results can be catastrophic.
Before implementing a data literacy program your data team needs to ask these key questions:
•How can we organize our data so people can find it easily?
•How do we find and determine which terms are necessary for our company?
•How do we achieve consensus on, define, and present these terms?
•How do we provide universal access when confidential user data is included in the data catalog?

Data Risk and Data Quality
Information gaps – the difference between what we know and what we need to know to make an effective decision; and so profound impacts on
operational effectiveness and profitability.
Organizations get the most value from the highest quality data –
available relevant complete accurate consistent timely usable meaningful understood
But data is also risky because it can be misunderstood and misused
Low quality data (inaccurate, incomplete, or out-of-date) obviously represents risk because its information is not right
Data not only represents value, it also represents risk

Definitions of BI
BI is a technology-driven process for analyzing data and delivering actionable
information that helps executives, managers and workers make informed
business decisions.
BI is a set of practices of collecting, structuring, analyzing, and turning raw
data into actionable business insights.
BI considers methods and tools that transform unstructured data sets,
compiling them into easy-to-grasp reports or information dashboards.
BI comprises the strategies and technologies used by enterprises for the data
analysis of business information.
BI is the process of turning raw data into actionable information that can
improve business decisions.
It is an umbrella term that stands for both processes and solutions — the
process of transforming data into actionable insights and the tools that access
and analyze data and present those findings in an accessible way.

BI outcomes
Insight
•Reports which tell us the current or former status of our data. This insight answers questions such as:
•How is the organization performing?
•How much revenue did we incur?
•Where do our constituents live?
•How much funds did we raise?
•What is the average patient discharge rate during weekends?
•Reports providing insight are valuable, but they mostly offer an operational perspective. Some are used to inform strategic
decisions, but they don’t always provide the full picture as to why the numbers and outcomes are the way they are.
Hindsight
•This second outcome of the Analytics & Business Intelligence umbrella provides the analysis needed to understand why
we have the current numbers we do –what were the factors, the environment, and decisions which impacted the outcome
of these numbers. It answers questions such as:
•Why are we performing this way?
•Which investments proved to be successful?
•What are we learning from the results of A/B testing?
•What customer factors affected the sales outcomes?
•Hindsight also determines and provides knowledge and understanding of the context.
Foresight
•The third outcome is about foresight. This showcases the true value of analytics, depending how you define it, because
through the exploration of historical and live data and application of different statistical, data mining, predictive, and
other analytics’ methods, it provides us with a better understanding of the future and the potential paths to follow. It
answers questions such as:
•How will the organization perform in the future?
•How can we gain a competitive advantage?
•What effect might certain changes have on our bottom line?
•Where will most alumni move to one year after graduation?
•Which customers are more likely to purchase?
•What impact will the next flu season have on the respiratory clinic?

Self-service BI vs. Traditional BI (Static Reports)
Self-service BI
•Today, modern companies and solution providers utilize self-service BI. This approach
allows business users as well as executives to get the reports that are automatically
generated by the system.
•Automated reporting doesn’t need power users (admins) from your IT to process
each request to your data warehouse; however, technical staff is still required to set
up the system.
•Automation may lower the quality of the end reports and their flexibility as it will be
limited by the way the reporting is designed. But, as a benefit, the self-service
approach doesn’t require actual technical staff to operate in the system all the time.
Users that are not tech-savvy will be able to serve a report for themselves or access a
dedicated section of the data storage.
Traditional BI
•Traditionally, BI was designed for executives only. Since the number of users and
types of data is limited, there’s no need for full automation. So, a traditional BI flow
type requires technical staff as an intermediary between the reporting tool and the
end user.
•If an end user wants to extract some data, he or she has to make a request and tech
staff will generate a report from the required data. In this case, your IT department
acts as a power user, a user that can access data and influence its transformation.
•The traditional approach offers a more secure and controlled data flow. But, relying
on the IT department may introduce a lag in flexibility and speed in case of
processing big amounts of data (especially for big data). If you strive for more report
control and precision of reports, form a dedicated IT team to take care of queries and
report formation.

7 common myths about BI tools
Myth 1: “This is too expensive for my business.”
• One of the most common myths about BI tools is that they’re only for huge enterprises with deep pockets.
• This simply isn’t true.
• There are BI tools available for businesses of all sizes, and many of them are very affordable.
• In fact, some BI tools are even free.
• BI tools can save businesses a lot of time and money. So, even if you’re on a tight budget, a BI tool may be an investment you can’t
afford to pass up.
Myth 2: “I don’t need a BI tool because I already have a reporting system.”
• Another common myth about BI tools is that they’re unnecessary if you already have a reporting system in place.
• But the truth is that BI tools can do much more than just generate reports.
• As we’ve seen, they can also provide insights through data visualizations and dashboards that businesses might not be able to get from
their reporting system alone.
• This can help businesses save time and make better decisions.
Myth 3: “I don’t need a BI tool because I have a data analyst.”
• Another common myth about BI tools is that they’re only needed if you don’t have a data analyst on staff.
• But the truth is that BI tools can be helpful even if you do have a data analyst.
• Data analysts can use BI tools to save time and make their jobs easier. And, as we’ve seen, BI tools can also provide insights that data
analysts might miss on their own.
• So even if you have a data analyst on staff, it’s still worth considering whether a BI tool could be beneficial for your business.

7 common myths about BI tools
Myth 4: “I don’t need a BI tool, I can just use Excel.”
•Another common myth about BI tools is that they’re not necessary if you’re already using Excel.
•While it’s true that Excel can be used for some basic data analysis, it’s not designed for complex tasks like data visualization or reporting.
•BI tools are much better suited for these tasks, and they can save you a lot of time.
•So even if you’re already using Excel, you don’t necessarily have to completely reject the idea of using a BI tool.
•In fact, you might find that using both Excel and a BI tool can be beneficial for your business.
Myth 5: “I don’t need a BI tool because I have a CRM.”
•Another common myth about BI tools is that they’re not needed if you have a customer relationship management (CRM) system.
•But the truth is that BI tools can be very helpful for businesses that have CRMs.
•CRMs can be complex, and it can be difficult to get the information that you need from them.
•But BI tools can make it much easier to access and analyze your CRM data.
•CRMs are great for managing customer data, but they’re not always the best tool for analyzing that data.
•With BI tools, you can easily access your CRM data and generate reports that will help you make better business decisions.
Myth 6: “BI tools are only for big companies.”
•This is another myth that simply isn’t true. As we’ve seen, BI tools can be beneficial for businesses of all sizes.
•They can help small businesses save time and money, and they can provide insights that businesses might not be able to get from their data alone.
•This myth is likely based on the fact that BI tools have traditionally been expensive and difficult to use. But as we’ve seen, there are now many BI tools that
are affordable and easy to use.
Myth 7: “BI tools are a passing tech fad.”
•BI tools have been around for many years, and they’re only getting more popular.
•In fact, Gartner predicts that BI and analytics will be one of the most important trends in business in the coming years.

Data Mining, Big Data (Hadoop)
•Also known as “data discovery,” data mining involves automated and semi-automated data analysis to uncover patterns and inconsistencies. Common correlations drawn from data mining include grouping specific sets
of data, finding outliers in data, and drawing connections or dependencies from disparate data sets.
Predictive analytics
•forecast future events based on current and historical data. By drawing connections between data sets, these software applications predict the likelihood of future events, which can lead to a huge competitive advantage
for businesses.
Descriptive modeling
•seeks to reduce data into manageable sizes and groupings. Descriptive analytics works well for summarizing information such as unique page views or social media mentions.
Decision analytics
•Take into account all the factors related to a discrete decision. Decision analytics predict the cascading effect an action will have across all the variables involved in making that decision.
NLP (Natural Language Processing)
•Data comes in three main forms: structured, semi-structured, and unstructured. Unstructured data is the most common, and includes text documents and other types of files that exist in formats that computers can’t
read easily.
•also known as text analytics software, combs large sets of unstructured data to find hidden patterns.
