Why I Won’t Stop Talking About Augmented Analytics!
What Are the Benefits of Augmented Analytics? Where Do I Start?
Those who know me are probably tired of hearing me talk about the benefits of Augmented Analytics. To them, I say, ‘I am sorry’. I am about to talk about it yet again. The reason is simple. Most businesses are either considering the addition of augmented analytics to democratize data, improve data literacy and create Citizen Data Scientists OR they are still unconvinced and feel that they are just fine. Either way, your business professionals and managers can use a primer on the benefits of augmented analytics, whether it is used to support their decision or to convince the team that augmented analytics should be pursued!
Can I (or my team) Handle the Citizen Data Scientist Role?
If you are a business owner or a business team member who has been asked to consider the Citizen Data Scientist role, you may be wondering how it all works and whether you (or your team member) can handle the new role.
Embedded BI and Augmented Analytics WILL Improve User Adoption, ROI and TCO!
Have you heard of Embedded BI? Do you know what it is? If not, your business is missing a lot. Embedded BI provides a lot of potential for your business to enable Citizen Data Scientist initiatives and data democratization, improve data literacy across the enterprise and make better business decisions.
Answering Common Questions from Citizen Data Scientist Candidates!
When a business engages its team members and asks them to take on the role of Citizen Data Scientist, there can be many misunderstandings regarding the new role. One of the most common misunderstandings relates to who does what in the role of analytics. Some common questions include:
Users Might Think Augmented Analytics is Too Difficult. That’s Not True!
If you are a business manager who wants to enable a Citizen Data Scientist environment, but you find yourself up against resistance, it is often because your business users believe that advanced analytics is just too hard for them to learn and that the use of these types of techniques and systems will slow them down and confuse their otherwise familiar processes.
Enterprise Culture Change Assures Success of Citizen Data Scientist Initiatives!
Many businesses have embraced the Gartner prediction that transforms business users into Citizen Data Scientists to help organizations democratize analytics with simple tools that will improve the quality and timeliness of decisions. You can read white papers, industry articles and other publications that will support and articulate this approach to business flexibility, agility and success. But, if you do not embrace the culture change required to deploy this strategy across your enterprise, your Citizen Data Scientist initiative will not succeed.
With Augmented Analytics Tools You Can Gain Insight and Track Business Results!
If you own or work in a business, you know that, while you are busy doing what you do on a daily basis, things can change. The change itself is challenging but what is more challenging is staying abreast of what is changing, where it is changing and how it is impacting the business. If you aren’t aware of the change, things can sneak up on you. Your business can get off track and, if you aren’t aware of that misstep, you risk greater loss as time goes by. At the same time, the changes that occur that might provide a market opening or an opportunity can also fall by the wayside if you are not paying attention.
Business Intelligence and Augmented Analytics Go Hand in Hand!
Business Intelligence is mandatory! Without intelligence you have no insight into your customer buying behavior, your competition or your organization. In order to achieve business intelligence in today’s environment, you need modern BI tools and augmented analytics that is suitable for your business users.
Citizen Data Scientists: Be the Champion and the Change!
If your business has entrusted you with the responsibility of a new role, namely that of Citizen Data Scientist, you may think of it as extra work or some sort of punishment. Nothing can be further from the truth! As a business technology user, you are in a unique position to combine your market, domain and industry expertise and your professional knowledge with augmented analytics that will support your queries, your problem-solving initiatives and your desire to improve on productivity, performance and revenue.
