Building a Culture of Analytics

The value of data is widely acknowledged and accepted within CIO circles, but converting executive sentiment into organization-wide action remains a leading challenge for businesses across Asia-Pacific. While a select group in the enterprise are setting the benchmark for data excellence, the majority remain overwhelmed and hampered by an inability to translate boardroom agendas into grassroots uptake because their analytics efforts fragmented and isolated. Such a shift is heightening demand for CIO ownership in helping build a data-driven culture from the ground up. By marrying technology with talent, they can ensure that analytics becomes a wide-scale company philosophy rather than simply an IT division deployment.
