Talking points on enabling data-driven decision making by lowering threshold on skills, time and tools required to work on data.

1. • Only few people have both skill and business knowledge to act upon data
• Investing in "reports factory" does not change the paradigm but adds cost

2. • Moving treshold to the left: making tools easier and faster, data more
accessible for the business users brings more people to data-driven paradigm

3. Notes
• You should move threshold left down to zero level ("literacy level"): like
everyone can use Word, everyone should be able to use their data
• You might say threshold stops at certain level by Data regulations / Data
governance: BUT is not a vertical wall, it’s horizontal waterline based on
business reasons
• You can move people to left, instead of moving threshold to the right—and
that’s a valid strategy as well, though more costly
• You can move IT crowd to the top—and that’s a valid strategy as well
