Strategy and Roadmap

Best practice design and deployment to feed the data habit!

Disciplined, data–driven, decision–making focuses minds on immediate business needs. A Strategy and Roadmap engagement is a quick-start, first step to the longer-term creation of a robust BI program to support increasingly complex questions, problems, solutions and opportunities. In a 3-4 week process, Incisive Analytics’ proven Business Requirements Gathering methodology generates a set of indispensable tools for moving forward:

• Analytical and reporting topics and themes appropriate for dashboard tracking
• Inventory of existing and missing Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)
• Complete inventory of Data Source Systems
• User Population profile
• Version One Data Models for initial solution design

Because Business Intelligence impacts every layer of an organization, Incisive Analytics’ team interviews and presents findings to a strategic cross-section of business leaders; from C-level executives through IT Business Intelligence managers down to daily users of data and reporting. The process creates a vision of BI across the enterprise and draws a picture of how BI can powerfully transform the day-to-day success of your business.

Design and Implementation

Incisive Analytics delivers comprehensive design and quick ROI through iterative deployment and targeted data and subject areas.

In one quarter you know the answer—either you got the value you expected or you didn’t. We know you’ll learn a lot about the process, your team’s technical capabilities and the best way to do BI at your company.

To meet business demand for information, Incisive Analytics’ solutions focus on high-value, rapid-return strategic solutions that rapidly incorporate additional sources of data and subject areas. The most efficient way to manage, plan and execute the entire BI initiative is to deliver small parts of the complete solution with a short time between deliveries. Iterative deployment allows for very quick ROI for Incisive Analytics’ clients and minimizes project risk.

Incisive Analytics’ experience has shown that BI applications usually require the adoption of new ideas and methods at a variety of levels within the organization. In an average timeline of 12 weeks a hybrid team forms matching client subject matter experts and Incisive Analytics’ technical experts for optimal knowledge transfer. A fully implemented, robust and scalable Business Intelligence solution from Incisive Analytics creates the foundation for data-driven decision-making and ultimately, a “Culture of Analytics” in your organization.

Key Performance Indicators

Incisive Analytics applies strategic listening skills assess the business issues facing your business and determine best-practice KPIs that specifically address your strategic goals.

• What KPIs or drivers are not currently measured or need improved measurement? What is the impact of this lack?
• What inhibits you from achieving your strategic goals?
• What key information do you need to make a decision today that you do not have?
• On a daily basis, how do you anticipate problems or exceptions ahead of time to know you are headed for trouble?
• What opportunities exist to dramatically improve your management based on improved access data?

Incisive Analytics identifies KPI prototypes and begins knowledge transfer to client staff immediately. Our approach is to facilitate and guide through a rapid value-driven construction of KPIs. The result is repeatable and easy KPI monitoring, improved acceptance of KPIs into decision-making, and high-value KPIs that form the foundation for forward movement in any industry.
