Episode 49: The Importance of Data Strategy for xP&A Guest: Mike Burke At which point does the “data” part of your planning project start to take center-stage? When you go beyond grabbing general ledger trial balances from a single data source, to wanting to truly mine more of your enterprise data for deeper insights, more accurate forecasting, and ultimately better business outcomes. Everyone knows they have lots of data, but getting to it let alone putting it to work for you can be hard. Half the battle is recognizing the problem, and acknowledging that you can’t wrangle your data into submission without having a data strategy. This week we talk to QueBIT Expert and Implementation Manager Mike Burke about how he sees this question being tackled at the clients he works with, and what advice he can share on how to get on the right path.
