How to Link Data to Business Outcomes

GARTNER
About this episode

Every business likes to claim that it is “data-driven” or at least “data-informed,” but too often, that’s not the way things actually work. Data is relegated to an IT function, siloed and, in some cases, boils down to simply producing more reports and dashboards. There is, however, a better way, and it relies on successfully linking data to business outcomes.

 

In this episode, Andrew White, a Distinguished VP Analyst for Data and Analytics, and Sarah Turkaly, a Principal, Advisory for Data and Analytics, outline how you can use the Gartner Value Pyramid to break down silos, reengineer key decisions and align data with leadership’s mission critical priorities.
