Key Takeaways
  • 'The last year has been incredibly challenging but our organizations have recognized that when so many things are changing so rapidly, they need to invest in people and systems that will help make sense of that change, and respond to it.'

  • 'We need to do the things the CEO cares about, like helping enable a transformation of our business model, identify the changes sweeping our industry before anyone else, optimize the way we manage our resources, and figure out new ways to connect employees, customers, and other stakeholders.'

  • 'Real change means changing people and processes, not just technology.'

  • 'Take the time to identify the leaders most willing to change. You can inspire them to move from the old ways of doing things and toward a future where data and analytics enable new success.'

  • 'We live in a world of necessary and continuous innovation, so we need technology and processes that are designed to help us keep up with change.'

  • 'If we want our colleagues to use data and analysis, then we need to focus on the point where they do so: the decision. Data without a decision is a distraction.'

  • 'We have a profound opportunity to extend the influence of data and analytics by embedding analytics in every decision.'
