beyond ‘coincidental’ success.

It identifies what you need to change and

how you should change it.

analytics strategy

Page 5: SAS EA forum - moving with purpose - developing an enterprise analytics strategy

1. Set the foundations

Organise a great team Across all business areas

Across all levels of seniority

Treat it like a programme of projects

That can instil a sense of purpose

Can influence others

Decide on an execution/delivery model Flexible enough to work on technology, people and process

change

Copes with ambiguity and abstraction

2. Consider your needBusiness is responsible for the delivery of results

and so must drive the discussion on capability.

Page 7: SAS EA forum - moving with purpose - developing an enterprise analytics strategy

3. Quantify the value of change:

Sell the dream and gain funding

Recognise the value of analytics. Identify

improvements to existing and new sources of

revenue.

Gain awareness of emerging growth opportunities

Create efficiencies through the organisation

Capitalise opportunity into tangible values - $$$

Define the implementation roadmap that

demonstrates ROI

Page 8: SAS EA forum - moving with purpose - developing an enterprise analytics strategy

4. Deliver excellently

Plan – Communicate – Refine – Execute – Monitor – Optimise

Align the strategy with implementation/execution roadmap(s)

Own the issues

Empower your staff

Maintain progress

Gain trust & commitment

Communicate & Collaborate

Feedback

Acceptance and adoption of the strategy and its deliverables is

critical to ensuring success

Future State

Benchmark Develop Integrate MeasureAnalyse Deploy Adopt

Integrate Separate

Technology - Increased complexity (for now and

future)

- Wider spectrum of failure

- Slower implementation time

- Acceptance criteria harder to define

- Likely will be part of a larger chain of

dependencies

- Increased need for specialist teams

- Increased risk of poor vendor support

- Accountability to ‘get it right’

- Likely need to update ‘incidental’ systems,

such as O/S, storage, networks etc.

- Risk of disruption to existing systems

Business - Increased implementation cost

- Less freedom to adapt technologies

- Risk of more items being ‘out of

scope’

- Accountability on Technology to ‘get it right’

- Harder to reconcile between old/new systems

- Acceptance testing more complex

- Handling of legacy data

- Harder governance

The benefits and implications for each aspect should be discussed and

outcome decided by Business and sponsors
