Harnessing the Power of Data
with Analytics and IBP
In today's competitive market, business success and innovation are fueled by data. Organizations are harnessing the power of advanced analytics to stoke productivity, boost efficiencies, parse customer preferences, and keep pace with market evolutions. What's more, data can help business leaders make more informed decisions that can unlock real value.
Most business executives view data analytics as a largely technological discipline that is supported by a collection of data-specific processes. That's understandable, given the technically complex solutions, algorithms, and data-governance capabilities necessary for analytics. But an effective analytics program rethinks the traditional organizational mind-set to create a "data culture" in which day-to-day decision-making is based on data.
In other words, your people-from top to bottom-are critical to building and sustaining a data-driven culture. C-suite officers should champion the use of data across the organization. In fact, the most successful programs have senior management involvement in data analytics. Leaders should champion the criticality of analytics across business units to encourage the use of data for decision-making.
To get there, organizations will need to ensure that data is accessible to all relevant employees at all levels. Similarly, departmental silos of data and analytics tools should be dissolved. And an up-to-date data governance program is critical to providing accurate, clean data for analysis. All this will require continual employee awareness and training, as well as a robust change-management program.
What's typically not needed is homegrown or custom solutions. Too often, organizations try to reinvent the wheel when adopting analytics. That's often unnecessary because specialized vendors help a company select the right external analytics solutions, and connect them to processes and the third parties best positioned to help deliver on the promises of data.
COHNREZNICK CAN HELP YOU BUILD A CULTURE OF DATA
CohnReznick's data strategy addresses the cultural and collaborative imperatives of data analytics by combining three interlocking pillars: A value-based architecture that aligns data with overall business objectives, an information-centric architecture that aggregates and stores contextualized data in a central repository, and data-governance processes that foster employee accountability.
We can help you implement proactive data analytics and IBP solutions, as well as refine your change-management program to help ensure that the technologies are well understood and adopted by users. Organizations that remove silos and foster a data-driven culture will be positioned to achieve strategic and operational efficiencies, quickly adapt to marketplace changes, and achieve competitive differentiation.

Are you prepared to answer:
Who am I? What do I do?
Some call this the "the evaluator pitch". Be able to articulate what you are looking for and how others may help you. Too often people in conversations ask, "How may I help you?" and no immediate answer comes to mind.
In order to get referrals, you must first have a clear understanding of what you do that you can easily articulate to others.
Have a clear understanding of what you do and why, but keep it simple.
