The age of data has changed the way businesses make decisions. With the sheer amount of data available and the speed of data creation, organizations must be able to analyze and interpret information quickly to stay competitive.
The biggest strategic business threat to moving too slowly is the risk of being overtaken by competitors. When companies fail to innovate, they fail to stay ahead of the competition, and their rivals can swoop in and capture their market share. Additionally, slow movement can lead to a lack of agility and responsiveness, making it difficult for a company to respond quickly to external market changes. Finally, slow decision-making processes can result in missed opportunities to take advantage of new developments or technologies.
Traditional reporting systems are rigid, complex, and very slow! Often businesses cannot get the data they need when they need it. And when they can retrieve the data, it is usually historical. So, they are making decisions about the past, not the world's current state.
Relying on old or incomplete data is like driving a car with a multi-second delay in your vision. Perhaps the curve ahead of you has passed you by, and you have run off the road. Or a deer has run into the street, and you have hit it before being able to turn to avoid it. Without timely & accurate data (your vision) and data availability (your gauges), driving a car has negative consequences, and the same is true of your business.
