10 Megatrends in Analytics - Smarter With Gartner

Data to decisions Enterprises need to shift from data-centric to decision/change-centric. Consider the question: Why are we doing this analysis and what are we actually trying to do. Begin by looking for areas in the business that need to be changed or are in the process of changing.

Analysis is valuable to everyone in the organization from the CEO down and should impact strategic decisions.
