Most organizations believe they will achieve better analytic results if they populate a deeper bench of experienced data scientists and machine learning practitioners. But this is akin to building a home exclusively with highly skilled framers, brick layers and cabinet makers. You’ll end up with a solid structure and great workmanship, but not a true functional home.

Geospatial data is growing in importance for business intelligence as users seek to make sense of diverse data. One element that many types of data have in common is location. Critical attributes of human, machine, and application-generated data become clearer when the source’s location—or movement from one location to another—is known and incorporated into reporting and analysis. Business users can spot trends, patterns, gaps, and other data relationships more clearly if they are able to visually integrate different types of data with maps. If organizations can enrich demographic, behavioral, operational, and other data with location information, they will be on a faster path to generate breakthrough insights and make smarter decisions.

Design Thinking methods can help organizations overcome the limitations of traditional BI and analytics development. Design Thinking has enabled retail, banking, and other types of firms to revolutionize how they develop products and services to deliver exceptional customer experiences. These methods offer similar potential for unleashing your organization’s creativity in developing applications and services that delight internal users. With organizations under pressure to deliver higher ROI from data—and frustrated by BI and analytics applications and services that don’t meet users’ requirements or realize value from all the data that they have—now is the time to consider new approaches such as Design Thinking.

Location information has been a growth area in recent years in data management, as user organizations of many sizes and industries have realized how location information can inspire new business insights, practices, and outcomes. In response, many users have reworked older enterprise data environments to enrich the data with more location information. At the same time they have begun capturing data from new sources that include location information, especially from sensors, machines, devices, vehicles, and the Internet of Things (IoT). Much of this new data is being managed in data lakes, which in turn are usually deployed atop Hadoop.

Most organizations lack a road map for leveraging data and analytics to optimize key business processes, uncover new business opportunities or deliver a differentiated customer experience. They do not understand what’s possible with respect to integrating data and analytics into the business model. And the Internet of Things only exacerbates the volume and variety of data that organizations could be capturing.
