Today, business planning is harder than ever. No one knows what is coming next and considering the changes in customer needs and expectations is just one of the issues. How about competition? What about new technology and how it will affect your products and services? What about the need for skills and new training for your team members and candidates? How about access to capital and investors?
If your business has designated you a Citizen Data Scientist, you may feel intimidated and unprepared to take on the role. You are probably a business professional with a lot of knowledge in your chosen career and area of focus and none in the field of data science or business analysis.
Preparing data for analysis used to be a long, difficult process performed by IT or data scientists. Needless to say, that process meant that business users could not get the job done. They were forced to make a request, wait for the process to be completed and then, more than likely, for the same team to actually perform the analysis. If the data prep was not accurate or was incomplete, the process starts all over OR produces poor results and, in many cases, those poor results are not obvious to the business user. What does that mean? It means that the business is using information and results that they do not know are wrong!
If you own an auto mechanics business, you know that tools and equipment are key to your business success. Without the right tools, your mechanics cannot perform routine tasks, test modern automobile computerized systems or serve customers. The same holds true for any other type of business. Your team needs the right tools and equipment to perform routine tasks and to analyze and solve problems.

All the data in the world can’t help you improve your business results unless you can sift through it and see it in a way that tells a story – a story that leads you to a conclusion, helps you solve a problem or allows you to see how your business can grow, change and succeed. Columnar reports and a sea of data are a barrier to insight. But, that doesn’t have to be YOUR problem.
