No matter what your business, analytics is key to its survival. Today’s business model is based on analytics application across your company along with continual adoption of new technologies. That means analytics leaders, who drive strategy, roadmap, and value delivery, are vital to your firm’s current and future success.
Successful application of analytics begins with clarity about where analytics can drive the greatest value. Effective analytics use demands leaders who commit to an analytics strategy and undergird it with the right culture, talent, organizational model, technologies, and processes. Most important, such application requires the strategy and management discipline to ensure data is efficiently captured, easily accessible, of high quality, secure, and in compliance with government regulations.
High-performing, analytics-driven organizations put into place strategy and roadmaps that align to goals and drive ongoing improvements in leadership, process, talent, and technology. As the analytics space rapidly grows and evolves, so do the responsibilities of analytics leaders. Their role has never been more vital or more challenging.
Example topics for this Council include:
- Developing and executing an analytics strategy that defines gaps and critical needs across leadership, culture, data, people, process, and technologies
