Optimising Business Engagement in Analytics

Optimising Business Engagement in Analytics

The focus of the Optimising Business Engagement in Analytics workshop is to improve team engagement in analytics projects by providing a common understanding of the activities involved in an analytics project. Participants also learn a process that helps them elicit a clear definition of business, data and analytics outcomes.

With so much opportunity emerging from the continued digitisation of business processes and customer interaction, there are high expectations of output and results from data analytics projects. However, many organisations still suffer a consumption gap, a disconnect in true engagement and understanding between the analytics provider and the business consumer that results in missed opportunity to make better informed decisions.

The engagement process between the data analytics teams and the business client is key to ensuring that the business outcome is well understood, the data is fit for purpose and the output enables the business to make decisions based on that output with confidence.

The focus of this workshop is to improve the engagement between the analytics team and the client by providing a common understanding of the activities involved in an analytics project. The workshop provides a process that helps teams elicit a clear definition of business, data and analytics outcomes for their projects.

Topics covered include:

  • Agile Analytics Engagement Life Cycle – an overview of the full analytics engagements process, what is involved, activities performed and by whom
  • Analytic Opportunity Identification – provides participants with AlphaZetta’s proven business and analytics scoping method to produce concise business, data and analytics scope and outcomes
  • Quantification of Potential Benefits – provides a basic understanding and methods for quantifying business outcomes to assist in the initial engagement definition
  • Presenting Engagement Results to the Business – this topic provides participants with a short form template to help communicate the outcomes of engagements.

Participants will gain more value on topics 2, 3 and 4 if they bring examples of work documents (past or current) to be used for workshop and interactive review sessions.
