a successful data analytics strategy starts with delivering real-time, actionable information effectively and efficiently, enabling accurate and timely decision-making. The strategy should revolve around three vital components: people, processes, and technology. The strategy MUST have those components, or adoption will be low.
A data analytics strategy begins with the end-consumer (people), either internally or externally. Next, the strategy works back through the actions required to meet the user's needs (process).
Then, the appropriate data management and analytics tools (technology) must be used to meet both the consumer's requirements as well as business processes.
