According to him, “Data-driven decision-making when applied to business strategies simply ensures you don’t make any decision uninformed. With the use of raw data obtained in real-time, it has introduced a high level of accuracy erasing the use of emotions and gut feeling in making these decisions.

“The presence of data insights has opened business strategy discussions to a whole new world as it influences and provides data for all branches of business components from customer insights, risk management, cross-departmental collaboration, and innovation, and significantly increases overall efficiency.

“The deep understanding that insights on customers bring for example informs on customer trends, customer benefits, and customer behavior influences business decisions to the development of more personalized, customer-centered products and services.

“With this action leading to increased customer satisfaction and loyalty, overall efficiency is guaranteed in areas like marketing and aids in cost reduction by only financing strategies that have proven to work,” he stressed.

The seasoned Data and Analytics professional has over a decade of experience in data strategy, IT consulting, and developing scalable data applications.

“This more streamlined approach allows businesses to prioritise being more innovative with their products and services, set clear and concise KPIs, and methods to track and monitor achievements, thereby staying ahead of their competitors, especially in our fast-paced business ecosystem. Furthermore, the insights provided by data help to identify potential risks, their impact and how to manage them.

“In advanced applications, predictive and prescriptive analysis goes even further to anticipate future implications of current data, identifying opportunity windows, and enabling businesses to plan.

“All the endless possibilities of transformation data-driven decisions provide organisations is evident in all aspects of the ever-evolving business landscape, and hence it is an integral part of our business-strategy approach,” David, who has a robust background in analytics, database administration, and implementing AI and machine learning solutions said.
