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.
If your business has embraced the concept of Digital Transformation (Dx) and Data Literacy, it must plan for these initiatives in order to ensure that they are successful. The best way to achieve Dx and data literacy is to establish a technology environment that will support and encourage constant change and optimize resources and creativity – all in the service of supporting business goals and objectives.
Gartner has placed an increased focus on augmented analytics and solutions that support data democratization and business user transformation to the Citizen Data Scientist role. It predicts that those organizations that engage in Citizen Data Scientist initiatives will outperform businesses that do not take this approach and they will be more competitive and better prepared, by increasing productivity, optimizing resources and making better decisions. As your business competitors embrace this evolution, your organization must seriously commit to the Citizen Data Scientist concept and to the Augmented Analytics solution approach that will support the Citizen Data Scientist.
Your business users probably fight you on improving data literacy and on implementing digital transformation. Many business users have a fear of analytics and envision having to become a business analyst or a data scientist in order to fulfill the vision of the business and its Citizen Data Scientist goals.
