Consumer-facing companies must be able to gather and manage the right data, apply analytics that generate insights, and translate those insights into effective frontline action. A McKinsey & Company article.
Farid Mheir's insight:
Fancy words to say that you should capture data, store it where it is easily available, analyze it so you understand it, and then take action, trusting your data is valid. We've been talking about this for years, first with data warehouses and business intelligence (BI), now with Big Data and Analytics.

It is important to have the most accurate data possible, but what is interesting in this article is the "decision back" approach : First identify the decisions you want to improve, and then figure out what data would help you make a better decision. Sometimes (especially in the marketing field) it's more a question of combining different data sets than having 100% accurate data...

Emerging tech often takes a while to get into the enterprise. This year's watchlist shows that there's plenty of hot new spaces to watch, while a few much older trends are just now reaching mainstream.
Farid Mheir's insight:
I always like these quadrants. Not so much for the rating or the position of bubbles, triangles, or squares but for the insight it provides into the trends of the day. I always appreciate Dion's viewpoint as he often tries to make sense of ideas and concepts that float around without much structure. In this case, the list is worth reading, if only to keep up to speed with the buzzwords (I did not know there was such a thing a "the quantified enterprise" - wow). Moreover, as I've been trying to help my clients handle the "enterprise 2.0" since its early days, I find that what was initially a fairly well defined concept (bringing social into the enterprise) has now grown into a mix-grill of digital technologies - which is much in-line with the digital transformation of businesses I care so much about.

Commuters in Africa, Europe and the US all follow the same fundamental pattern of travel between work and home, confirming a theory first suggested 20 years ago.

New Years Day is the start of an annual tradition where 90% of the population promises to change some aspect of their lives, and then promptly forgets. These data tools provide meaningful analytics of your habits, your lifestlye, and your virtues, giving you a constant reminder of how far you've come (and how far is left to go) towards your New Years Resolutions.

Farid Mheir's insight:
(in french) a good overview of excel dashboards and what they should contain. This one focusses on sales dashboards but you can replace sales with pretty much any business unit and the presentation remains relevant. Does not dive into technical details but other presentations by Sophie provide amazing insights. Very useful.
