Strategic Data Analysis: Decision Making

Welcome to Strategic Data Analysis: Decision Making - a business workshop focused on data-driven management decisions.

Why Strategic Data Analysis?

"We are drowning in information, while starving for wisdom. The world henceforth will be run by synthesizers, people able to put together the right information at the right time, think critically about it, and make important choices wisely." - E. O. Wilson

Every object, every interaction, everything the businesses come into contact with is converted into data. Once business managers and entrepreneurs decode the world around them and start seeing it through the lens of data, they will increasingly focus on ‘manipulating’ the data to achieve desired outcomes. The collection of enormous quantities of business data enables modeling of various systems at extreme scales, both micro and macro, helping uncover new patterns and relationships that were previously invisible for business opportunities and/or threats.

As a result, whether it is running a business or managing a team, our work (and even personal lives) will increasingly demand abilities to interact with business data, see patterns in data, make data-based decisions, and use data to design for desired outcomes.

The workshop simulation by Harvard Business Publishing will give you an opportunity to practice what you have learned. You will participate in a simulated business situation in which you will select the best course of action.

Created by Professor Tom Davenport, renowned thought leader on big data, this simulation teaches participants the power of analytics in decision-making.

Acting as the brand manager for a laundry detergent, participants are tasked with turning around the brand's performance by using sophisticated analytic techniques to understand current issues and determine the best strategy for improving performance.

Participants will be asked to predict market demand, set the channel price, make formulation decisions, determine promotional spending strategy, and communicate their strategy effectively to their managers. The simulation makes use of actual consumer data informed by a multinational consumer goods company.

Throughout the simulation business game the workshop participants:

  • analyze a dashboard that provides metrics on market share, profitability, competitor pricing, and demand by geographic region
  • dive deeper by reviewing reports and manipulating demographic filters to drill into data segments by income, ethnicity, household size, region, and age
  • devise their strategy by forecasting demand and then make decisions on production, pricing, positioning, promotional spending, and communication activities
  • review their results and make decisions based on their analysis and resulting performance of prior years
