This season, we're aligning our podcast with the structure of our upcoming book, "BI Confidential." Our goal is to create material that will directly contribute to the book, addressing real-world practices in BI and analytics.
We'll start by debunking the myth of "best practice." Best practice can often lead to paralysis, as people get stuck on whether something is standard rather than considering if it fits their specific needs. Instead, we should focus on good practices that work for our specific contexts, even if they aren't the so-called best.
Another important topic will be the journey from descriptive to prescriptive analytics. Basics are crucial, but they can take a lot of effort to get right. Once the basics are in place, advanced analytics often follow more easily.
Understanding client types and motivations is key. Different organizations—whether they're high-growth and chaotic or structured and regimented—require different approaches. We must adapt our methods to fit the client's specific needs.
We'll also discuss the importance of equipping your toolbox with the right tools. No single tool can do everything, so it's important to have a variety and know when to use each one. This includes tools like Excel, which remains a staple.
Selecting the right partner is another crucial element. Understanding client motivation and organizational context helps tailor our approach to better meet their needs.
Other topics will include long-term maintenance, data quality, governance, cloud infrastructure costs, licensing, and subscription models. Ongoing costs are often overlooked but can significantly impact the overall success and sustainability of BI projects.
This season aims to provide practical, real-world insights and strategies for effective BI and analytics, blending our podcast discussions with the structure needed for our book. Stay tuned for a series of engaging and informative episodes!
