Streamlining Business Processes through Big Data

Welcome! Today’s theme is Streamlining Business Processes through Big Data. Explore how real-time insights, smart analytics, and a culture of experimentation can relieve bottlenecks, sharpen decisions, and make work feel simpler. Join the conversation, subscribe for ongoing playbooks, and share your toughest workflow challenge.

Event Logs as a Map

Every click, scan, and timestamp becomes a breadcrumb. Feed logs from ERP, CRM, and service desks into process mining to reveal the true path of work. Share a workflow you’d love to map next.

Value Stream, Quantified

Measure cycle time, wait time, rework, and handoffs to locate waste with precision. When each delay is visible, prioritization becomes obvious and politics fade. Comment with one metric you wish leadership tracked daily.

Build the Right Data Foundation

Unified Pipelines and Connectors

Consolidate streams from transactional systems, sensors, and collaboration tools into a governed lake or warehouse. Use change data capture to keep operations current. Which systems would you connect first to accelerate visibility?

Data Quality That Speeds Work

Deduplicate entities, standardize reference values, and validate timestamps before analytics begins. Clean inputs reduce exceptions and rework downstream. Subscribe for our upcoming checklist on operational data quality that actually moves the needle.

Governance Without Friction

Role-based access, lineage, and retention policies should protect users, not block them. Automate approvals and document rules within tools people already use. How does your team balance control and speed today?

Analytics That Remove Bottlenecks

A regional logistics team discovered invoices detoured through three manual checks on busy days. Visual traces exposed the pattern, and a single rule change halved approvals. Share if you’ve seen similar invisible detours.

Analytics That Remove Bottlenecks

Models flag orders likely to miss SLAs based on queue depth, agent load, and exception history. Leaders intervene early with staffing or prioritization. Would early warnings change how your team plans every morning?

People, Culture, and Change

Short, hands-on sessions beat long theory. Teach frontline staff to read funnels, interpret control charts, and challenge vanity metrics. Subscribe to get our micro-course outline tailored for busy operations leaders.
