Make BI Stand for Business Improvement
Close the gap between teams and data to close the gap between decision and action
You've found the answer. Hewn from the very coal-face of truth, in the deep data mine.
So now what?
You need to "bring people on the journey", "socialize the data" and "get buy-in".
Nonsense. What you really need is for the whole organization to be able to decide on action quickly from a position of clarity.
Data room, incident room, or just a really smart whiteboard. With Count's rich collaboration features, you can finally break down the awkward data-business blind date syndrome. Now your experts can stop passing spreadsheets between silos and start solving problems together.
Work with data in real-time meetings and turn "we should probably" into "we just did". No more "I'll call you with those figures tomorrow" promises that nobody wants to keep. Instead, analyze, discuss, and decide together in the moment.
Let your stakeholders play "what if" with your data instead of just staring at it. With interactive sliders and filters, they can fiddle, tweak, and test assumptions right before your eyes—turning passive head-nodders into engaged decision-makers who actually understand why that budget increase matters.
Silos tend to build between data teams and the business when they settle into a pattern of request–fufillment rather than genuine collaboration where both sets of expertise are valued and valuable. Count's realtime collaboration and canvas make it easy for both groups to have an impact on business improvement. For example, domain experts can prototype metric maps, reports, or analysis in the canvas providing a skeleton for analysts to populate, before reviewing and iterating along side. Additionally, data teams can easily see team-generated canvases, and build out standardised templates and semantic definitions in Count Metrics.
Stay up to date with all things count, data and problem solving.
