This is my presentation from the recent Mastering BI event in Melbourne. Consumers of information expect experiences and visualizations similar to their personal solutions, we need to start thinking in terms of Analytic Applications - purpose built solutions that enable people to ask a question, get an answer and move on.

[twitter]Traditional financial metrics are backwards-looking, when we should be looking forward[/twitter]Going back to the Income Statement and Balance Sheet – they are at best rear-view measures of the top line and bottom line. They provide a snapshot in time of all that has happened, but very little, if any, indication of what is happening in the enterprise. For example, an online retailer with a subscription model experiences a massive drop in stock price because of poor Income Statement results. Further analysis indicates that there was a dramatic drop in subscribers (Churn) in one of their most profitable segments. It would stand to reason that a pre-emptive pulse-check on the churn could have helped stem the bleeding and perhaps prevented the reaction on Wall Street. This churn is an example of a new signal that could have helped this one enterprise run its business more proactively rather than look for explanations with a rear-view perspective.
With more and more people spending much of their existence in the digital world – whether it’s for work, play, learning, or to socialize– the amount of data being generated is truly astounding. Just think about the number of SMS messages and emails sent, phone calls placed, and Facebook updates made every minute, and it boggles the mind how much data is traversing networks around the world.
