The “Why?," “When?" and “How?" of Big Data, Analytics and Benchmarking

McKinsey & Company recently released a report titled “The Age of Analytics: Competing In A Data-Driven World.”
 
The opening paragraphs neatly sum up their findings:
 
"Big data’s potential just keeps growing. Taking full advantage means companies must incorporate analytics into their strategic vision and use it to make better, faster decisions."
 
“T he question for companies now is how to integrate new capabilities into their operations and strategies — and position themselves in a world where analytics can upend entire industries."
For a lot of companies, that's enough information to take action.
 
But for those that need more, the report does a good job spelling out a few key specifics, which we've summarized here:
 
    • Why do Big Data, analytics and benchmarking improve performance? — because they fuel discovery and innovation. Businesses “no longer have to go on gut instinct; they can use data and analytics to make faster decisions and more accurate forecasts supported by a mountain of evidence."
    • When should companies incorporate Big Data, analytics and benchmarking? — the good news is it’s not too late to add Big Data, analytics and benchmarking: "The urgency for incumbents is growing, since leaders are staking out large advantages, and hesitating increases the risk of being disrupted.” The bad news is the longer you wait to the more likely you are to either be left behind or blindsided. "Leading companies are using their capabilities not only to improve their core operations but also to launch entirely new business models. The network effects of digital platforms are creating a winner-take-most situation in some markets. The leading firms have remarkably deep analytical talent taking on various problems — and they are actively looking for ways to enter other industries. These companies can take advantage of their scale and data insights to add new business lines, and those expansions are increasingly blurring traditional sector boundaries."
    • How should companies incorporate integrate Big Data, analytics and benchmarking? — the short answer is intentionally, because to "realize the full potential of data and analytics," these capabilities have to be integrated with existing business structures and personnel: "The first challenge is incorporating data and analytics into a core strategic vision. The next step is developing the right business processes and building capabilities, including both data infrastructure and talent. It is not enough simply to layer powerful technology systems on top of existing business operations.”

Competing In A Data-Driven World

Every company is a data company. 
 
What that means for CEOs, boards and senior management is pretty clear, according to The Age of Analytics: Competing in a Data-driven World , a new report from McKinsey & Company:
 
"Big data’s potential just keeps growing. Taking full advantage means companies must incorporate analytics into their strategic vision and use it to make better, faster decisions. "
Why that's so beneficial is pretty clear, too:
   
"...analytical techniques can fuel discovery and innovation. Above all, businesses no longer have to go on gut instinct; they can use data and analytics to make faster decisions and more accurate forecasts supported by a mountain of evidence."

Is There A First-Mover Advantage In Big Data, Analytics and Benchmarking?

Nobody likes to be the first to try something new.  Remember the old Life Cereal commercial ?
 
Brother #1: "I'm not gonna try it, you try it."
Brother #2: "No way. I'm not gonna try it, you try it."
Brother #1: "I know, let's get Mikey to try it!"
 
Big Data, analytics and benchmarking aren't new, but for a lot of companies, the idea of incorporating them into existing processes and procedures on a day-to-day basis is.
 
That means the question they struggle with isn't why they should do more with the data they already collect, but when they should start  —  should they be one of the first or wait to see what happens to their peers and competitors?
 
(For insights into the "how" of becoming more data-driven, see 10 Simple Rules For Your Big Data Analytics Adoption Strategy.)
 
Fotunately, there's a growing body of research that suggests the sooner you start, the better off you'll be because the gains in profitability and productivity from Big Data, analytics and benchmarking increase over time.
 
Three stats to consider:
 
  1. The average initial increase in profits from big data investments is 6%, but the average increase in profits after five years is 9%(Source: McKinsey & Co.)
  2. The average initial return on  big data investments for the average company is 140%, but the average return on  big data investments for the average company after five years is 200%. (Source: McKinsey & Co.)
  3. Companies ranked "more productive" are faster adopters of big data than their "less-productive" peers. (Source: Journal of Big Data.)
Compelling?
 
Yes.
