Inspire 2015: Business Leader Track Day Two Recap

You heard some fantastic use cases and ROI figures in yesterday's Business Leader track sessions. Recap of day one available for those of you that missed.

 

Well, today's session were equally inspiring. With cross-industry speakers from leading banks, retail, CPG, consulting and more, covering topics across market share acquisition, customer insight, field force productivity analysis and more, it is no surprise that we had another very successful day on the business leader track.

 

Some highlights are:

 

  • Gary Class, SVP of Virtual Channels Group at Wells Fargo shared the importance of a multi-dimensional view of customer for better customer experience and loyalty as well as the challenges associated in pulling differently formatted data from multiple systems.

  • Mark Cyr, COO of Global Equity Distribution at Bank of America Merrill Lynch discussed how the bank is using Alteryx and Tableau to provide self-sufficiency to its front-line analysts and drive process automation to achieve time efficiencies such as reducing time to create trade agreements from 500 hours per month to 20 minutes.
  • Michelle Londeree, Senior Manager of Global Business Analytics for Levi's showed role-based views her team created to support the reporting needs of the company's business leaders and executives so they can now get performance insights by region, category, style or more, instantaneously. Imagine what your organization could do if it got results that earlier took 3-5 business days to compile in under 5 minutes!
  • Will Grey and Jimmy Go from CROSSMARK talked about not just simple improvements in the process, but a complete redefining of the wheel with a switch from Excel/Power Pivot to Alteryx & Tableau. I guess when the transition involves moving from frustrating manual processing & massaging of data for 40+ hours, without any guarantee of quality data – to an automated scalable process that works with all data sizes, with just a push of button and 99% efficiency increase -- it no longer can just be deemed improvement!

 

 

The conference wrapped up today, but the key messages of self-sufficiency, analytic independence, and time to insight continue to resonate with me. What did you take away from the conference? Share with us.

 

The slides and recordings of all the sessions will soon be available on our website, so don't forget to check back in a few days.
