Information management is the implementation of processes, roles, controls and metrics to effectively manage information and data. This includes collecting, storing, curating, dissemination, archiving and destruction of documents images, drawings and others sources of information. A major part of the Intent Information Lens is the curating of data to create information in the form of Analytics.
Analytics is a primary focus on the topic of Information as once Information is managed in an optimal way - whether that be the collection and storage of data, digitisation of physical documents or creating naming conventions to organise your data - it becomes reliable. Reliable data can then be dissected and drawn upon to create meaningful analytics which is used by a business for decision making, communication, efficiency and insight.
Many organisations prioritise the implementation of Business Intelligence systems prior to optimising their data and that is a perilous mistake. Creating analytics based on unreliable or misleading data leads to poor decision-making and miscommunication. It is imperative that data and information are stored logically, are easy to access, and secure and there is one source of truth.
Leaders should prioritise analytics as it can simplify otherwise complex decision-making in the business, not only saving time but it can also increasing accuracy. Secondly, analytics are at your fingertips. Rather than checking a statistic or insight once a quarter, the information is ready to digest at any moment. It all leads to more effective leadership so that there is time to focus on the abundance of other things that they are responsible for.
Analytics is of course, only as useful as they are created to be. Metrics and dashboards that are not planned and considered have the risk of being misleading and might actually be worse than having no analytical reporting at all. Metrics should provide insight and dashboards should tell a story. Analytics should be curated on a reliable Business Intelligence tool.
The world runs on instant information, it is up to organisations whether they want to be living in the dark or
have a chance at being a front-runner in their space.
Some facts about data and analytics in business
5X

55%
55% of businesses have dark data. Lots of organisations collect data however more than half of them don’t analyse it. That is an alarming loss of insights businesses could be leveraging.
1300%
The average ROI for enterprises using business intelligence and analytics is 1300%. Studies show that whoever controls the data, controls the market. There is much to gain by implementing business intelligence systems.

Techniques
When creating Analytics, it is important to have 2 things established first and kept front of mind: The audience of the report and the purpose of the report/dashboard. Every metric and piece of information should be useful to the intended audience and meet the goal, otherwise, it will contribute to an overload of information.
Curating metrics is difficult - there are just so many options and different visualisations it can be hard to know what to rule in or what to rule out. The Intent Analytics Framework breaks down the best way to do this, but in essence, we suggest starting broad and then refining. That means, thinking of every metric possible that the audience could possibly want for the purpose of that dashboard/report, dividing those metrics into topics, and then deciding on the top 10 most useful metrics in each topic.
Some other things to consider when tackling analytics are:
Choosing the right Business Intelligence tool to visualise your analytics.
Naming your metrics properly, ensuring it includes a specific time period for that metric (e.g. this month; last quarter; current; etc).
Consider the context of the metric. Just because it relates to the purpose of the report/dashboard, does the information it provides present an accurate and contextualised picture to the audience?
Ensure the report or dashboard tells a story.
Make them visually appealing! Visual communication is key.
Information is power only if you can take action with it. Then, and only then, does it represent knowledge and, consequently power.
