Like many complex information technology (IT) programs, an effective business intelligence (BI)<\/a> programme requires a purposeful combination of people, process and technology. When one considers the growth in data generated by the Internet of Things (IoT), smart sensors, the hosts of new intelligent devices and the proliferation of new cloud-based BI tools, it\u2019s easy to assume that the ability to collect and process data is the critical path.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ironically, a lack of data from which insights can be derived is hardly the problem. According to a May 2020 IDC Global Datasphere Forecast, \u201cThe amount of data created over the next three years will be more than the data created over the past 30 years, and the world will create more than three times the data over the next five years than it did in the previous five.\u201d It\u2019s clear that most companies are already swimming in valuable data and are producing more and more of it every minute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rather than facing technology and data constraints, the opportunity is to improve the ability of people to harness, consume and swiftly act upon big data to create insights that offer a competitive advantage. That means that companies need to nurture a \u2018data culture\u2019 \u2013 an environment where employees are empowered by the ability to harness all the data at their fingertips to make better decisions at speed. The organisational effectiveness of BI absolutely requires employees who value, act on, support and evangelize data-based decision-making. Building a data culture starts with building a strong foundation from which your BI solution can scale, add value and gain greater adoption over time \u2013 this foundation is made up of three main components.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trust<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Trust in the BI programme can be built in a number of ways, but perhaps none more important than giving a wide group of stakeholders a \u201cseat at the table\u201d as the BI programme is scoped. There are numerous infrastructure factors, business processes, user needs and reporting requirements that need to be taken into consideration. By making key stakeholders a part of the process, not only is trust built, but better, more comprehensive outcomes can be created. In addition, many organisations uncover new information regarding key steps that need to be taken along your BI journey to justify incremental BI investment.<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t

It is also important that leadership sets realistic expectations and milestones. Some BI results can be completed early that will make an immediate positive impact and help to reinforce the potential positive impact of BI programs in their infancy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Summary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Building and nurturing a modern data culture is a tremendous challenge in today\u2019s digital economy. Success will require both time and investment in creating trust, usability and leadership commitment. Aside from the new business processes and technology involved, it requires working closely with people with a broad range of needs, perspectives and skillsets. It requires continuously winning over internal teams and stakeholders and educating them around the value of data to improve the way they work and live.
