Executive Briefing: From laggard to leader—Winning the AI race

Leading organizations have achieved greater than 60% in analytical value in comparison to lagging organizations. Despite that, only 8% of companies extract the significant value from their analytics investments, and even fewer can quantify the impact analytics has on their business. The challenge is building a case for change and knowing where to start. The Analytics Impact Index helps organizations understand the impact of analytics on the bottom line and the capabilities required to extract the most value from analytics as well as quantify the pace at which their initiatives are maturing.

Anastasia Kouvela and Bharath Thota walk you through last year’s results, where participating organizations are benchmarked and categorized into four stages of maturity: laggards, followers, explorers, and leaders. Several key drivers of value power the success in analytics, including a clearly defined analytics strategy integrated into the business at the highest levels of leadership, an organization structure that promotes knowledge sharing and development of skills, and a data-driven culture that encourages analytics experimentation, supported by data warehouses giving access to well-maintained, real-time data.

Join in on the discussion of the results of the 2019 Analytics Impact Index and hear some case studies of how leading organizations from around the world have become leaders in analytics.
