Action plan

Using data to inform decision making at your business

Medium effort

High impact

Data can shine a light on your most valuable products or services, what your customers care about and any emerging markets you could be entering. Using data to inform decision making at your business is a no-brainer – the biggest challenge is getting into the habit of doing so.

  • We’ve designed our action plans to be completed in the order of steps laid out and explained why each step is important
  • Customising your action plan lets you set your own completion dates, assign tasks to others and get notifications
  • Helpful tools are provided for certain steps while a tracking metric at the end will help you determine the long-term success of your effort
  • A downloadable PDF version of each action plan is available if you’d like to compete it offline

Number of key decisions backed by data

Data helps leaders to make informed decisions

Why this metric?

Checking how many key business decisions have been made with data in mind will tell you whether you’re factoring in data enough.

How do I start tracking?

Reflect on your top-level decision making every three months and be honest about the role data played in the process.
