Key steps for your business journey from Data to Insights

1. Identify the different types of data in your business and dive into each type of data you receive

2. Identify which data sources you have access to, understand their strengths and weaknesses, and determine which types of data are being used for specific purposes

3. Ensure that the data is being collected properly, by verifying that the collected information is accurate and useful, whether it’s by using a tool such as Business Intelligence (BI) tools such as Tableau or Amazon QuickSight or by reviewing your various sources’ documentation or “how-tos” online.

4. Determine what type of information you want to receive from the data, whether it’s summarizing, visualizing, or building a predictive model

5. Choose the best tools and methods for processing the data so that you can accurately obtain the desired information by using a tool such as Business Intelligence (BI) tools such as Tableau or Amazon QuickSight or by writing your code in SQL Server or another programming language.

6. Prepare yourself and your team to review collected data and extract insights from it by educating them on how to use it properly and providing them with the appropriate training opportunities, such as attending seminars on BI or building their predictive models.

7. Monitor changes in the field and prepare your organization to handle these changes so that they don’t derail your company’s ability to leverage its data.

8. Maintain and continue to improve your organization’s data-related processes and procedures by improving how the data is used, how it is stored, whether it is being fully leveraged, or whether it is being misused in some way.
