Driving a vehicle involves continuously assessing what’s behind you, where you are, and where you’re going. Similarly, operating a successful business requires clear hindsight, insight, and foresight. Learn how data analytics can generate key business insights.
Data analytics, particularly from a variety of viewpoints, is a valuable strategy-planning tool, often revealing ways to streamline operations, learn customer behavior patterns, or reduce labor costs.
Hindsight
Through descriptive analytics, historical data tell a story about what has happened in your company’s past and how previous performance and trends are impacting current operations, customers, and growth.
EXAMPLES: revenue per subscriber, monthly sales growth
Insight
Using current operations data over shorter periods of time (sometimes using real-time dashboards), predictive analytics result in actionable insights and predictions.
EXAMPLES: buying pattern forecasts, market likelihoods
Foresight
While predictive models estimate what might happen using current and historical data, prescriptive analytics uses the same data to recommend a specific course of action to achieve your desired outcomes.
EXAMPLES: simulations, recommendation engines
While there are myriad analytics models, a blend of these approaches, sometimes called optimized analytics, offers the most holistic view.
