Insights & Analytics: the method is key, technology follows
Insights & Analytics must deliver what the Business needs are
If you are being told technology can resolve your data quality and business analytics challenges, time to break free from this dogmatism: what you need is a method, i.e. the right Praxis, and you need to take back control of IT and Analytics.
A robust Insights Strategy ensures the ‘Single-Version of the Truth’ (SVoT)
An Insights Strategy is the cornerstone of defining the grammar and language used by your Business Insights and Analytics. Among others, it frames and secures Business Definitions into the Single Version of the Truth principle.
There is more to this Governance level matter to be discussed together.
Monitor your Business Strategy’s Delivery and Outputs
How well your strategy is being delivered across the business as well as your interactions with the environment can be tracked, measured and made available for analysis, review and discussion at the top executive level as well as all needed operational levels.
In complement to the financial analysis you have in place, we will provide you with a battery of non-financial robust metrics allowing you to measure qualitative information, hence properly document strategic matters like grants submission, Sustainability or Corporate Social Responsibility.
Stop DataViruses and Bad Data Production
As a key gold principle, one can address data quality issues only by stopping the production of bad data. Cleaning bad data is a financial bottomless pit.
Reason coined the DataVirus concept in 2020, as good-looking data having infiltrated your data landscape to influence and target top decision-makers through consumed Insights and Analytics.
Fall foul of bad data, especially Data Viruses and some third parties will have you work for them without you even realising it.

Your Trekking Packages
Insights & Analytics Journey
INSIGHT STRATEGY
Give your Business a Grammar, Syntax and Language for Insights and Analytics.
Align Insights with the Business Strategy.
Business Definitions
Insights & Analytics are possible only with a common dictionary of business concepts, terms and metrics.
Documentation
Ensure faster outage resolution and business continuity with proper documentation of your systems, BI Stack, ETL, standards and dashboards.
Cleaning Spaghetti Coding
Inventorise coding used across your business and ensure it is under control, i.e. it is really needed, fast, secure and valid.
Intelligent Automation
Prevent Automation from making you a blind slave of it, and ensure its embodiment is under control and aligned with the Insights Strategy.
Full Control over AI, ML and DS
Get into black boxes, dispel the mist and geeky waffling. Understand end-to-end how algorithms and models work, and what value they create for the business behind the hype narrative.
Be Independent of Vendors
Ensure your BI stack and Insights / Reporting are structured and implemented in a way that minimises the time taken to update, fix or replace any part of it at any time
Migrations, Compliance, Risk
Manage data systems use or migrations consistently, with more flexibility, in line with the regulation and best practices in security & privacy
Ensure migrations towards new solutions without BAU disruptions.
Save & Create high value in weeks
Concrete questions raise concrete savings and value-added.
What are IT / Analytics costs/benefits? Are credits/debits aligned with books? How to reduce churn and improve conversion? What caused ETL failure last night? What costs you a decision taken upon bad/infiltrated data?
Audit your Analytics with Reason’s Insights Health Check
Audit your Analytics Capability Reliability and Performance
Whether you are a Board / CxO Executive or Senior Management Team member, this report will help you answer questions you have or may not be aware of.
Usually, up to 5 days of work. This duration can depend on various factors, contexts and requirements.
If you experience any of the below, you can be 100% sure you don’t have an Insights and Analytics Capability fit for purpose.
Why an Insights Health Check?
Here is an extract of what we audit when running a Health Check for you
- Metrics and KPIs are wrong
- Metrics and KPIs are not defined. Who signed them off?
- What are these dashboards and reports really about? They don’t tell us anything.
- How can you perform pre-production UAT without having requirements on hand?
- Where are the documentation and business requirements regarding our analytics?
- It can take one hour (and this is quick!) to get any fundamental business figures confirmed, often only as a rough ‘estimation’. This will especially happen during board meetings or strategic business meetings, as the figures we were given appeared to be wrong with, as a consequence, not the best impact on our image/brand.
- Who is the owner of business definitions used across given dashboards?
- Who is in charge of data quality and its governance and compliance with GDPR?
- Who defines, designs, tests and validates algorithms, scripts and logic used across the data and analytics, as well as statistics & Data Science / Machine Learning / AI team?
- Where is the mapping of ETL and data lineage processes?
- ETL processes keep failing unexpectedly, hence not refreshed /up-to-date dashboards. IT will often realise this only when end users complain.
- Is dashboard Agile development becoming the last tree that hides a dead forest?
reason‘s Insights Health Check explores ten key Insights-Analytics areas, each spread across a dozen of ‘minimum requirements for fitness’ checks.
