We all subscribe to the belief that leveraging insights from our data will bring us better business results. However the journey to insight is not without its challenges. If you are finding data frustrating, you can be sure that you are not alone. While much is written about the benefits of working with data, there are a lot fewer articles identifying the issues that commonly crop up. In an effort to address this, we have summed up the data issues most frequently experienced by our customers..
- I do not trust the data
- I am not confident I understand what the data is telling me
- I cannot get what I need from data when I need it
- I cannot get what I need from spreadsheets
- I do not have time to sit through scores of slides to find out what I need to know
- I cannot manage multiple sources of data effectively
