The little train said, “I think I can.” And you can too!
Across the broad horizon of U. S. healthcare, diverse organizations find that big data presents big challenges:
- Many providers have different definitions of big data.
- Varied expectations persist, from the prospect of large, immediate cost-savings to mistaken notions about the cost of implementation.
- Among the list of obstacles cited is the lack of talent, as well as security issues and budget concerns. Many of these organizations hold differing views of data sources and uses. Valuable data sources are omitted or overlooked.
Differing perceptions about the scope and benefits of big data remain to be clarified.
You see it too. Many users imagine big data initiatives will be easy until they confront challenges from security and budget to talent, or the lack of it.
And, according to Accenture, more than four in ten people reported a lack of appropriately skilled resources, and almost as many felt they did not have the talent to run big data and analytics on an ongoing basis.
Assembling the requisite expertise becomes a key success factor for many projects.
Here’s where we have a decidedly better impact:
Answer why and how. We tell clients why they need our talent, and how it solves their business problems and pains. We create and show them compelling reasons for them to buy in. And we continue to re-enforce value and purchase satisfaction with existing clients.
Educate early. We provide case studies, tips, and best practice content (like this blog), tailored to the industry’s specific pain points and position in the big data and planning analytics process and recycle. We also take the time and interest to become a trusted source of information and content for the myriad of healthcare challenges.
Manage risk. The business leadership of any successful healthcare organization needs to manage perceived risk later in the decision-making cycle, and we help them do that by providing discreet case studies and statistics. And the perspective of an analytics thought partner.
The planning team needs hard facts and case studies to make a rational justification for the purchase. Emotionally, this purchase decision could be tied to either a promotion or a severance package, depending on the price tag and how it impacts the business. We prefer to help create promotions and bonuses.
