Essence of good business analysis – Make your data gathering more efficient
Accumulate, analyze and evaluate information. These three words lie at the heart of business analysis.
How does it help you? Business analysis solves problems and improves the overall productivity of your organization.
To achieve this goal, you need relevant and reliable data. In a rapidly evolving business environment, companies hire business analysts for effective information gathering. A business analyst must choose and implement a system that accomplishes a basic aim- Appraisal of data for faster decision-making.
Most companies now have to deal with big data or huge amounts of complicated facts. So they employ more than one system, making productive data collection and integration a challenging task.
You may face the following challenges in efficient accumulation:
- The information is not relevant to begin with
- It is measured incorrectly
- By the time the data is analyzed, it becomes irrelevant
Getting it right
If data is collected in real-time across locations, you can make strategic management decisions to:
- Increase organizational growth
- Reward high performers
- Explore better ways to overcome business challenges
Business analysis then becomes seamless and greater productivity is guaranteed. This ensures you beat your competitors with high profit margins.
There are two prerequisites for effective business analysis:
- Availability: Relevant, recent and updated data should be available
- Standard matrix: The factual information must have a common basis/measurement matrix across locations and business units, allowing management to make decisions easily. For instance, if you are able to measure global productivity uniformly (irrespective of type of work),data analysis becomes simpler and more accurate.
By using one tool across locations you can put in place a measurement matrix that will allow you to:
- Focus on core tasks
- Reduce non-productive activities
- Make the organization more open and transparent in decision-making
New business software and technologies are always entering the global market promising to do just this. With a variety of options to choose from, it becomes difficult to decide what is best for you.
