More Than Reports

What are the roles in a successful data team? In this episode, Paul meets with Alex again to discuss data teams. 

If all decision-making depends on good information, what's the best way to organize people to manage it?

We also reflect on the evolving role of technology. The abundance of technology at our disposal today is not making the role of people less important.

Welcome to More Than Reports, a podcast for business leaders looking for that edge that will allow their vision to turn into reality.

This podcast is a continuation of an audio podcast series I started years ago, Love Your Reports. I have graduated to video now and decided on a name change.

On More Than Reports, I will be sharing insights on how data solutions can help businesses grow.

Topics like Big Data, AI, and data warehousing will be demystified. I will focus on real-world applications and the value of accurate reports.

The goal is to bridge the gap between data technology investments and actual business value, helping business leaders make informed decisions.

It's not just about data, but what you do with it.

Business Intelligence is often thought to be limited to only large organizations that can afford a team of experts to build elaborate technical solutions.  In fact, nearly every company already uses business intelligence no matter how small.  There are vast differences in architecture and level of automation, but BI is not optional.  Business builders and operators will do what needs to be done to capture value opportunities even if this requires 100% manual data wrangling.

How long will it take to build a specific feature into your reporting solution?  This is a common question that unfortunately does not have a simple answer.  Today we will dive into estimates.  The goal is to provide an understanding of the type of work required to complete certain types of requests.  This should also explain why certain requests are estimated to consume much more time than others.
