More Ways Of Measuring Business Intelligence Returns
There are other signifiers that indicate the solid returns business intelligence can yield. Other than the examples listed in our previous blog (How We Measure The Benefits Of Business Intelligence), you can also examine indirect (non data) indicators.
- User adoption. Be aware of the response by users to your business intelligence. Do more employees want to use it? Give it some time. Does usage increase?
- Continued use. Once people get the hang of Tableau and recognize the benefits, is the retention rate high? Do employees request to try it? These are good signs.
- User-recommended embellishments. Do the users recommend any improvements? Doing so probably shows that they’re engaged with the software and are seeing its advantages.
- Positive talk. Is your business intelligence mentioned in meetings? Once rolled out, does it seem integral to processing data in new, productive ways? This should mean that your business intelligence is catching on.
The Potential Impact Of Tableau Business Intelligence
It might take some time to see the benefits of Tableau to take shape, but as seen above (and in the previous blogs) there are milestones along the way that will help you mark the improvements business intelligence can bring to your organisation.
Remember also other topics we’ve covered.
- Start out small. Don’t overwhelm your staff with a major paradigm shift. Roll it out in steps.
- Set business intelligence goals. Glean all of its benefits. By setting goals, you allow you – and your company – time to acclimate to the overwhelming insight of business intelligence.
