MGMG697: Thematic Paper: Consulting Practice (Data to Intelligence)

The Data to Intelligence (D2I) Module is about how we make sense, gain knowledge, and understand business situations from raw data – the source of corporate intelligence. It is about how we determine what data resources we need to gather in order to obtain meaningful and actionable information. Like other corporate resources, the collection, maintenance, and processing of data is a cost to the organization. The more useful and more widely used the data the more value it can contribute to the organization. Thus D2I is also about how we communicate this meaningful and actionable information to the organization in a coherent presentation that is fast and easy for the audience to absorb.
