Data-Driven Culture

Decision Inc. helps companies become Data Driven Businesses that are fit to take on the challenges of a digital world.

Building a Data-Driven Culture

Becoming a data driven culture is a shift in approach to people development and the value it creates.

Data driven organisations understand that they need to service and enable a wide range of users – from the CEO all the way down the business. They build multidisciplinary communities, deliver personalised solutions and enable their people to succeed.

DESPITE THE MOMENTUM OF DIGITAL INVESTMENT, THE SPEED OF CHANGE AND ORGANISATIONAL CAPABILITY HAVE NOT KEPT UP

Organisations that are serious about their digital growth are equally serious about ensuring their people are capable of leveraging these investments.

To make an impact, the investment in people enablement and learning must meet or exceed the pace at which organisations want to drive change.

“Data literacy is the ability to read, work with, analyse, and communicate with data.“

BECOMING A DATA-DRIVEN CULTURE IS A SHIFT IN APPROACH TO PEOPLE DEVELOPMENT AND THE VALUE THIS CREATES

The approach to a data-driven culture is focused on how people take in information and using that to deliver better outcomes as opposed to the delivery of traditional training content.

Successful cultural transformations are also personalised: content, experience, pace, and needs must match the person in the role and what outcomes they need to fulfil.

Training is the giving of information and knowledge, through speech, the written word or other methods of demonstration, in a manner that instructs the trainee. Learning is the process of absorbing that information to increase skills and abilities in a variety of contexts.

THE BIG PICTURE GOALS AROUND DATA LITERACY

Enabling the Modern Workforce:

Empower your staff to harness technology to improve operations, decision-making, and effectiveness.

Leading with Information:

Make fact-based decisions rather than relying on intuition alone.

THE BIG PICTURE GOALS AROUND DATA LITERACY

Aligning Strategy & Operations:

Allow a better understanding of, and greater visibility into, key measurements and strategic initiatives.

Actioning On Insights:

Understand the art of fact-finding, analysis, and impact.

DATA-DRIVEN ORGANISATIONS UNDERSTAND THAT THEY NEED TO SERVICE AND ENABLE A RANGE OF USERS - FROM THE CEO ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE ENTIRE BUSINESS.

Data and data literacy are no longer the sole domains of analysts and data scientists. Everyone in the company must become a data user and be empowered to work with and deliver value from data.

DATA-DRIVEN BUSINESSES BUILD MULTIDISCIPLINARY COMMUNITIES, DELIVER PERSONALISED SOLUTIONS, & ENABLE THEIR PEOPLE TO SUCCEED.

When architecting analytics solutions and platforms, teams must provide solutions that enable the person, based on their data needs and capabilities, to deliver a better outcome.

This can mean delivering the same data solution in multiple ways in different formats to a variety of users.

Data Transformation Strategy

We helped a large manufacturing client embark on a data transformation strategy to modernise its analytics and data environment.

Analytics Platforms & Environments Migration Into The Azure Cloud

Starting with an SAP ERP base, Decision Inc. supported them in developing a 5-year analytics strategy and successfully migrated their analytics platforms and environments into the Azure Cloud.

Data Access To Drive Business Decisions

We introduced Power BI as their primary reporting tool with Data Factory for integration. This enabled them to have access to the data they needed to drive business decisions.

Developing Organisational Alignment 

Becoming a data driven culture is a shift in approach to people development and the value it creates.

Data driven organisations understand that they need to service and enable a wide range of users – from the CEO all the way down the business. They build multidisciplinary communities, deliver personalised solutions and enable their people to succeed.

Our Immersive Engagement Approach

To deliver this change, our teams work with your organisation to develop personalised programmes and content.

We’ll develop the necessary platforms and solutions to run and manage the programme. We’ll create the knowledge frameworks and a learner management system to surface the program to your staff.

We’ll also assist in building communities of practice that can share, learn, and develop together for the betterment of everyone. This creates exponential value for the organisation.

HOW WE HELP BUILD A DATA-DRIVEN CULTURE

Our approach to building a data-driven culture is an immersive engagement programme. This includes human-to-human interaction, developing learning pathways, establishing communities of practice, and leveraging technology platforms to scale across the entire organisation.

PHASE 1: ENABLING YOUR PEOPLE

The first phase of the programme setup is to establish and define the agenda and ambition of the programme. This process is done through workshops with Decision Inc. staff and your leadership to agree and define the programme objectives and strategy. These workshops will be facilitated by Decision Inc. leaders working closely with your team to develop your intentions and objectives into a structured programme and business case.

CLIENT CASE STUDY

A large manufacturing client embarked on a data transformation strategy to modernise its analytics and data environment.

With so many changes, the client needed to ensure that the organisation and its people were able to leverage these investments as part of their data transformation strategy.
