The Business Data Analytics Cycle

The business data analytics cycle represents the research aspects of business data analytics. It is an iterative cycle initiated through the development of a well-formed research question and then explored through targeted, but thorough data analysis.

Team Structure and Required Skills

For any data-driven engagement to succeed, there needs to be a partnership between those providing the business experience (business stakeholders and business analyst) and those with the technical skills: the data analysts and scientists. These roles work collaboratively to ensure the business context is properly translated to guide the analytics activities appropriately and to find the best ways to obtain value from available data.

Strategy for Business Data Analytics

Strategy for business data analytics includes the activities to build the capacity and capability for data analytics within an organization.
