  • Great design, high-quality code, strong business sponsorship, accurate requirements, good project management, and thorough testing are some of the obvious requirements for successful analytics systems.
  • As a professional in the field, you must be able to do these things well because they form the foundation of a good analytics implementation.
  • Successful analytics professionals should follow a set of guiding principles.
  • ...11 more annotations...
  • Principle #1: Let your passion bloom
  • If you do not love data analytics, it will be hard to become an analytics rock star. No significant accomplishments are achieved without passion. For many people, passion does not come naturally; it must be developed. Cultivate passion by setting goals and achieving them. Realize that the best opportunity in your life is the one in front of you right now. Focus on it, grow it, and develop your passion for it! That excitement will become obvious to those around you.
  • Principle #2: Never stop learning
  • Dig down deeper about the business details of your company. What, exactly, does your company do? What are some of its challenges and opportunities? How would the company benefit from valuable and transformative information you can deliver? Take the time necessary to learn the skills that are valuable for your business and your career. Keep up-to-date with the latest technologies and available analytics tools -- learn and understand their capabilities, functions, and differences.
  • Deepen your knowledge with the tools that you are currently working on by picking new techniques and methodologies that make you a better professional in the field.
  • Principle #3: Improve your presentation skills and become an ambassador for analytics
  • persuasiveness and effectiveness
  • Improve your presentation and speaking skills, even if it is on your own time. Excellent and no-cost presentation training resources are readily available on the internet (for example, at http://www.mindtools.com/page8.html. Practice writing and giving presentations to friends and colleagues that will give you honest feedback. Once you have practiced the basic skills, you need to enhance your skills by improving your
  • You must be able to explain, justify, and "sell" your ideas to colleagues as well as business management. Organizational change does not happen overnight or as a result of one presentation. You need to be persistent and skillful in taking your ideas all the way up the leadership chain.
  • Principle #4: Be the "go-to guy" for tough analytics questions
  • Tough analytics problems typically don't have an obvious answer -- that's why they're tough! Take the initiative by digging deep into those problems without being asked. Throw out all the assumptions made so far and follow logical trial and error methodology. First, develop a thesis about possible contributors to the problem at hand. Second, run the analytics to prove the thesis. Learn from that outcome and start over, if needed, until a significant answer is found. You are now well on your way to rock star status.

  • By the end of 2013, 72% of business executives will have tablets as their main means of consuming an Organization’s KPI’s and other analytics, scorecarding, etc
  • Although Roambi, and Microstrategy seem to be doing all of the right things with Mobile BI, there are several major BI Vendors that are not or there is simply room for improvement.  Also on the topic of Mobile BI, one of the barriers of 2012 was the concern for securing Mobile BI within an organization.  There has been a rise of solutions but no true standardization.  Oracle has produced their Mobile Security Tool Kit for Oracle BI and we will dive into that very soon as well (have Mac OS, will travel).
  • We hope this year to compare Oracle Endeca along with QlikView, and Spotfire to break apart the vendor specific functionality and give rise to insights on how to form successful solutions to the overall problem of self-service analysis of Big Data and traditional Data Warehouse data.

    "Very important: Two of the options (OpenOffice.org > Preferences on a Mac, Tools > Options on other platforms) affect several functions, including VLOOKUP. Both of these options are in the Calc > Calculate section: Search criteria = and <> must apply to whole cells - If you uncheck this option text searches in VLOOKUP can match a substring of the values in the table so in the example a search for B will find B+. You almost certainly want to enable this option so that an exact match must occur. Enabling the option also makes your VLOOKUP formulas compatible with Excel. Enable regular expressions in formulas - Unless you understand what "regular expressions" are (see Help) and unless you specifically want to use them in your spreadsheet, you will want to uncheck Enable regular expressions in formulas because this option can make VLOOKUP difficult to use. Unchecking the option also makes your VLOOKUP formulas compatible with Excel. The questions below address what happens if you enable this option. Summary: Check Search whole cells and uncheck Regular expressions"

  • Modern business applications produce ever more relevant and actionable information for decision makers, but in many cases the data sources are fragmented and inconsistent. Despite tremendous advancements at the application layer, nearly all IT initiatives succeed or fail based on the quality and consistency of the underlying data.
  • CIOs are responsible for making information available to their businesses in a consistent and timely basis, but in most organizations, information management is seen as a delegated set of tasks and is not the CIO’s top priority.
  • “Key initiatives such as master data management, data virtualization, data quality, data integration and data governance are employed by just a fraction of organizations that should be mastering the science of information management,”
  • ...1 more annotation...
  • While CIOs are aware that effective information management results in faster decision-making, according to the Ventana study, only 43% of organizations have undertaken information management initiatives in data governance, data integration, data quality, master data management and data virtualization during the last two years, and less than one fifth have completed those projects. The largest obstacles to completing information management projects are insufficient staffing (68%), inadequate budget (63%) and insufficient training and skills (59%).
