​

​There will be a time soon enough when ‘Data Mining’ will be common practice, however, with the exception of facing database or budgetary issues and restrictions, some companies are currently slower than others to leverage new approaches. It’s certainly not as if this field and practice remain questionable in terms of added value but rather a question of whether or not certain stakeholders are ready to embrace new, more effective approaches.  At the center of this data and knowledge revolution will be your ‘data’ and of course, your ability to embrace and leverage these practices.

Commercialization of Data:

 

Understanding the need to acquire, compile and leverage all sources of information possible about your customers and markets and to further generate insight into the needs and purchasing behavior of your customers across all business lines will be key to achieving and surpassing your performance objectives.
 

Establishing An Analytics Center of Excellence ( ACE ):

 

Make it a priority within the company to establish a team of “analytical / quantitative” knowledge based specialists whose mandate and function is to solely analyze, measure and recommend new alternative ways to improve upon all facets of one’s operations.  In addition, this team would also support and link all other teams together when it comes to applying and delivering knowledge based solutions and applications.
 

Leveraging Key Insight:

 

In addition, key to implementing effective strategies going forward will be the ability to understand your business from the customer perspective. The customer should always be and remain the focal point of one’s overall business plan. That is, who are your customers, what are their current and future needs and how can you best meet their needs moving forward?
