How Analytics Differentiates Winners - Bain

Review by Bain & Co.
only 4% of companies are really good at analytics, an elite group that puts into play the right people, tools, data and intentional focus. These are the companies that are already using analytics insights to change the way they operate or to improve their products and services. And the difference is already visible. These companies are:
  • Twice as likely to be in the top quartile of financial performance within their industries 

  • Three times more likely to execute decisions as intended

  • Five times more likely to make decisions faster
