The lesson

Organisations move from scattered spreadsheets to consistent KPIs, regular reviews and finally analysis built into key decisions.

A roadmap starts with the decisions that matter most, the data they need and quick wins that build trust — such as one reliable monthly KPI review.

Culture matters as much as tools: leaders who ask for evidence and respond to it make analytics useful.

Step by step

  1. Assess the organisation's current practice.
  2. List its most important decisions.
  3. Identify quick wins.
  4. Write a one-page roadmap.

Practice activity
