How We Approach Analytics

In data analysis, most companies tend to focus on securing data scientists or utilizing cutting-edge technologies. What is sometimes neglected is linking analytics initiatives to management themes. Identifying high-impact tasks that will aid management and clarifying purpose in using analytics are both key to lead successful analytics initiates. In doing so, companies can make analytics not about practical efforts for reforming your management and business operations, rather than just R&D.

NRI helps companies maintain both a management and operational perspective. We deliver a system to dynamically support our customers in formulating analytics strategies, putting them into practice, and building organizational structures.

Formulation of Analytics Strategies

1. Creation of Roadmaps
   There are myriad themes to be considered in analytics, including its data, applications, infrastructure, human resources, market climate, and governance. Using the insights and practices that we have amassed over decades of experience, NRI assesses these factors and incorporates them into the development roadmap for analytics deployment.
2. Proof of Concept (PoC) Activities
   It’s important to begin practical application of analytics at an early stage in using proof of concept (PoC) studies. NRI provides consistent support throughout PoC projects, including identifying themes, analyzing data, operating trial services, running effectiveness tests, and detecting problems.
