It’s that time of year again folks, when we look back fondly on the past year while busily planning for the year ahead. I’m looking forward to all that 2016 has to offer, and it should be a really exciting year here at Dimensional Insight! Stay tuned to the blog here for the latest on all that we have going on.
In the meantime, let’s take a quick look back at what was hot on our blog in 2015. Here are the top 5 posts we wrote this year. When you click on the title images below, you’ll go back to the original posts so you can catch up on our great content from the previous year. Enjoy!
We get it. Healthcare analytics is hard. So it’s little surprise that our top blog post of the year focused on 3 critical first steps healthcare organizations should take when they’re first starting with healthcare analytics. These steps help organizations stay ahead of the game and ultimately increase their chances of analytics success.
Everyone loves New Year’s resolutions. But few actually keep them. Not you smart folks, though. This blog post on resolutions for beverage alcohol companies in 2015 kept getting visits well into the new year. These resolutions help you build revenue and are pretty easy to stick to. (Looking for resolutions for 2016? These are still on point.)
We hear a lot about the importance of “storytelling” with your data. But what good is your story if it’s only partially true? In this blog post, Rose Weinberger wrote about the parable of The Blind Men and the Elephant, and likened it to the storytelling that’s going on in many businesses today.
One of the biggest myths in healthcare analytics is that you need a data warehouse to do analytics the right way. In this blog post, George Dealy tackled that myth head-on and offered an alternative to the data warehouse that focuses on thinking about data as a living, moving part, rather than as a static thing that needs to sit in a repository.
In March, Women of the Vine held its first global symposium, and Dimensional Insight’s Nancy Berkowitz was one of the attendants of the inaugural event. She wrote about the symposium in the blog post, “Women of the Vine Winning with Analytics,” and she discussed how women in the wine industry are using technology and analytics to successfully drive revenue for their companies.
