What’s So Great About Augmented Analytics?

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!

How to Assure Citizen Data Scientist Success!

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.

Digital Transformation (Dx) Requires Augmented Analytics Technology to Support Business Users!

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.

Citizen Data Scientists Need Support to Succeed!

You Can’t Wave a Wand and Change a Business User into a Citizen Data Scientist!

Most business executives and managers have, by now, read the Gartner predictions wherein the average business user will be (or already has been) nominated to become a Citizen Data Scientist. Gartner defines a Citizen Data Scientist as “a person who creates or generates models that leverage Predictive or Prescriptive Analytics but whose primary job function is outside of the field of statistics and analytics.” It is true that a Citizen Data Scientist is NOT a Data Scientist, but some businesses incorrectly expect the same results and anticipate being able to reduce the need for business analysts or data scientists as these new roles are assumed.
