- Synopsis
- Culture is one of the softer elements of an organization's makeup, one that may seem incompatible with the "hard" nature of analytics. But building a culture that embraces analytics is critical if you want your firm, and all the people in it, to make better decisions based on data, facts, and rigorous analysis. Getting to this point isn't quick or easy, but once you're there it becomes a competitive advantage. In this chapter, the authors of the definitive book Competing on Analytics explain what traits and behaviors your organization should champion to foster an analytical approach and reward data-driven insights. Through real-life success stories culled from years of research, you will learn the common attributes that an analytical culture embraces, firm but fair "pushbacks" you can incorporate to combat the wrong behaviors, and how to produce a mutually beneficial set of priorities that correspond to both your existing cultural themes and a new analytic focus. This chapter was originally published as Chapter 8 of Analytics at Work: Smarter Decisions, Better Results.
