Derrick YuenAnalytics Thought Leader, Practitioner and ACLP certified TrainerIn the age before data became so ubiquitous, organizations had to make decisions based on gut, experience, intuition, ego and other means. And for some organizations, this worked to a point. However, in this age where the data, technology and analytics methods are so widely available, many organizations continue to use old methods to make decisions. In the fast changing world, organizations cannot afford to not take advantage of the data advantage; to objectively assess the risks, opportunities and consider their options before committing to decisions. And at the same time, recognizing that data is not the solution to all problems. As an engineer, consultant and business practitioner, I have seen first had the both challenges, benefits of analytics; and the pitfalls along the way as organizations transition from a gut based decision making organization to a data driven one. FYT CONSULTING was borne out of the desire to help other organizations make the transition and build their own data advantage. I believe that objective and informed decisions is one of THE most reliable approaches to creating value in organizations; most effectively accomplished through pivotal insights from data.
