Topic: Data as the New Growth Engine: Creating Intelligent Consumer Goods Organizations
Key Highlights:
[1] The conclusion is that data is not an afterthought. If you are still treating it as an afterthought, you are already behind.
[2] Data cannot exist only for reporting at the end of the month. It has to become part of the way the business operates every day.
[3] The real value of data lies in embedding it into business processes, not treating it as a separate function.
[4] Data should not be analysed only to generate reports. It has to influence decisions while the business is running.
[5] The person who speaks the loudest does not necessarily make the best decision. The best decisions come from the person with the strongest evidence.
