Using Data as a Driving Force
for Performance Management
Data has become an inescapable tool to facilitate the management of your performance and optimise your business processes.
Nowadays, companies handle a significant amount of data that comes from various information systems, but it is hard to know how to choose the best practices to optimise their use and exploitation.
Have a look at the various approaches we promote to optimise your performance thanks to data.
We work in close collaboration with CIOs and IT Departments, helping them to optimise the management of their business activities or structuring processes/projects.
Valorising data: ensuring the achievement of your objectives
Based on our experience, we are convinced that still too few companies are making optimal use of the knowledge capital represented by the enormous amount of data that they generate and manipulate daily. To maximise the benefits of this untapped resource, implementing a proactive approach to generate as much value as possible from their data is essential for these companies.
Be it Management, Marketing, ISD, or ISSM (Information Systems Security Manager) … each company’s department can benefit from making a smarter use of the information at their disposal. Projects related to data valorisation become an essential steering lever.
Information thus becomes a facilitator for efficient and timely decision making and allows for a strong
Turning the dormant data
into business assets
The establishment of indicators, dashboards, reports, or any other kind of document based on the data available in the information systems is a key management and decision-making element, at every executive level and in every functional area of the company.
The result of a well-managed valuation
For a company, the result of a well-conducted data valorisation process can be found in many areas through multiple and multifaced gains, regardless of the business sector:
- Facilitating the decision-making process (bettering its speed and relevance) to, for instance, gain competitive advantage;
- Identifying the roots of the organisation’s problems and optimising their resolution;
- • Detecting anomalies and implementing the appropriate corrective measures as soon as possible.
Our Methodology is divided into 4 stages
Deriving value from your data involves multiple steps:
Characterise and identify
- Analyse the needs and define the objectives: what, why, how, for whom, and at what organisational level (strategic, operational, tactical);
- Identify the stakeholders and their roles and responsibilities;
- Identify the types of data that are needed to achieve your goals;
- Identify which data sources are known, available, and reliable (internal, external, private, semi-public, public);
- Detect the additional necessary data sources (e.g., data that is not yet stored);
- Use structured or non-structured data, also known as “unprocessed” or “pre-processed”.
Collect and stock
Depending on the data needed and the data sources selected:
- Develop and configure the tools used for data collection in accordance with the selected vectors, and secure those:
- Duplication and dispatch (push) of data elements, such as logs
- Collection (pull) by means of APIs
- Scheduled processing batches
- Access management and flow encryption
- Manage storage and security capacities:
- Targeted, minimal data collection
- Data lake
- Classification, access management, data encryption, or legislative, regulatory, and contractual aspects
Handle and exploit
This phase is one of the most important: it must ensure the exploitability of the results. The way that the conclusions of the first three phases are structured and shared is essential: they should always be highly intelligible, so as to allow for the best decisions possible to be made. This phase therefore includes:
- Making sure that the medium, the data, the modes of graphic representation, and the figures are intelligible and adapted to the audience;
- Choosing the proper tools for analysis restitution;
- Defining the right modalities for presentation and distribution of the conclusions.
Mettre en forme et restituer
Souvent sous-estimée, cette phase est une des plus importante car elle doit permettre l’exploitabilité des résultats. Le mode de restitution se doit de mettre en lumière les éléments importants et permettre une compréhension rapide et la prise des bonnes décisions. Cette phase va donc comprendre :
- Le choix des supports de présentation, des informations présentées, des modes de représentation, des tableaux adaptés aux différents publics ;
- Le développement et configuration de l’outillage de restitution ;
- La définition des modalités de présentation et de diffusion.
