In the course of doing business, we are constantly creating and using information. So, how can we make sure our information is working as hard as possible for us? Let's explore the virtuous cycle of good information leading to more value.
It all starts with defining what value means for your business. Is it customer satisfaction? Profit generation? Innovation? Take a step back and really think about what you're striving to achieve. This clarity is key - it gives you visibility and a north star to guide your decisions.
Next, you need to digest the information at your fingertips. What information do you have that could shed light on your value drivers? Don't just look at the numbers, try to uncover the stories they're telling. Where are you excelling? Where are the opportunities for improvement?
With that insight, you can start to deliver value in a more intentional way. Maybe you need to reallocate resources, adjust your processes, or try something completely new. The important thing is that you're making informed choices that are aligned with your definition of value.
And here's the best part - as you start delivering more value, you'll generate even more useful information. It's a virtuous cycle that keeps feeding itself. The better you get at defining, digesting, and delivering, the more value you'll create.
So take a step back and think about your own organisation. What does value mean to you? What information do you need to track it? And most importantly, how can you use that information to create even more value, both for your business and your customers?
It's a simple concept, but the impact can be profound. Here's to building a more valuable business, one insightful data point at a time.
