Stop the DRIP!
Too many organisations are Data Rich, Information Poor.
At Decoded, we think the solution lies in the democratisation of data skills. Read on to learn how organisations can unlock value through the development of Data Champions.
BENEFITS
Why create Data Champions?
Data Champions can help you identify new growth opportunities and uncover efficiency savings including identifying task or process candidates that lend themselves well for automation.
Leverage your existing tech investment
How many people in your organisation are already working with data and using Excel on a weekly basis? And how many are using it to its fullest potential? Given that most data-led decision making in your organisation will not rely on complex data analysis, just think how much potential there is!
Complement skills with the right knowledge and behaviours
Identifying the most valuable insights depends not only requires tools and tech-based skills but also, relies on the right (and ethical) data question being asked, and the ability to communicate findings accurately through data storytelling and visualisation.
Develop a diverse pipeline of data-enabled future leaders
Data-driven decision making breeds confidence. Experience shows that data-enabled people become increasingly self-assured and seek to participate in the business more, helping organisations develop a wider, often more diverse pool of future leader talent.
Equip your domain experts with data skills
The best insights are uncovered when you have people who deeply understand the context of the data and the community that the analysis results sit within. Departmental data champions are also well placed to identify time-consuming tasks that lend themselves to automation.
Accelerate the adoption of data-driven decision making
Enabling every team to self-serve data analysis will lead to faster and better-informed decision making that leads to greater business agility.
Empower your data specialists to work on transformational business objectives
Removing the dependencies on your data and AI specialists (inc. data analysts, engineers and scientists) frees up valuable resources to work on more complex business questions that will be instrumental in delivering ambitious growth agendas.
