Business today doesn’t look like it did for our grandparents, or even our parents. In fact, technology is changing so much and at a staggering speed that we can’t keep up easily! In fact, 90% of the world’s data historically has been created in the last two years! That’s a lot of data being created and therefore a lot of data that a business needs to put to use.
Just because business looks different, and just because data feels daunting at times, this doesn’t mean that businesses should ignore it. In fact, a few basic measures can get a business tracking, analyzing, and measuring data in a way that makes their business work more efficiently and effectively.
