The virtuous cycle of data and AI is powerful: 𝗕𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗮 → 𝗯𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗔𝗜 → 𝗯𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀 → 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻 𝗯𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗮. But where do you actually start? The secret to success isn't over-engineering but pragmatic execution. Instead of long planning cycles, we can deliver working solutions by starting small. Choose a single, relevant business process and take a "𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣-𝙨𝙡𝙞𝙘𝙚" approach. Address governance essentials like data quality and observability just enough to support the immediate business outcome. This "𝙨𝙝𝙞𝙛𝙩 𝙧𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩" mindset uncovers risks early and keeps the focus on delivering real value. Don't spend a year planning when you could be delivering three working solutions. What's your biggest challenge in getting started with data and AI?

🚨 Everyone’s chasing GenAI, AgenticAI, and the next big AI breakthrough… But after spending 15+ years in Data & AI consulting, here’s what I’ve consistently seen: 🔍 The true value of analytics isn’t in flashy GenAI tools — it’s in good DATA. Every other company today wants to be at the forefront of AI-led transformation. GenAI POCs are popping up everywhere. But behind the scenes? Many are still struggling with foundational elements — no proper data lake, poor data quality, scattered governance, and no unified data model. 💡 You can’t run if you haven’t learned to walk. What I’ve learned is simple but powerful: ✅ One table — One grain ✅ All facts and dimensions interlinked A robust data model and strong data governance are the real engines behind any successful AI/analytics program. Without that foundation, no amount of AI layering will magically generate business value. Yet, too often, analytics teams are blamed when insights don’t deliver — when the root issue is actually the underlying data chaos. ✨ Want GenAI to work for your business? Start with your data. Clean it. Model it. Govern it. Then watch the magic happen — for real. #DataStrategy #Analytics #DataGovernance #GenAI #DigitalTransformation #DataFirst #AI #EnterpriseAI

Everyone wants AI. Everyone wants the quick wins. But here’s the truth: garbage in still equals garbage out. As Business Analysts, we’ve always worked with data. But in the AI era, data isn’t just an input - it’s the foundation of decision-making, automation and competitive advantage. And right now? It feels like a lot of companies are racing into AI adoption with an acute case of FOMO. The dashboards look impressive. The pilots feel exciting. But if the underlying data is flawed, the outputs will be too. I’ve seen it happen: - Dashboards that confidently told the wrong story. - Automations that created more noise instead of clarity. - Forecasts that were impressive on paper but dangerously misleading. The risks of rushing in are real: wasted investment, poor decisions, loss of stakeholder trust and even reputational damage when bad outputs reach customers. That’s why data literacy is no longer optional. As BAs, we need to: - understand where data comes from, - know how it’s structured, - clean it so it’s reliable, - and sense-check what AI models produce. Being an AI-enabled BA means slowing down enough to get the data right - because even the smartest AI will fail if it’s fed the wrong inputs. How are you upskilling in data literacy to stay ahead of the FOMO rush? #DataLiteracy #AI #BusinessAnalysis #GIGO #DigitalSkills

Are you surprised that 74% of companies struggle to achieve and scale value from their AI initiatives? A 2024 report by Boston Consulting Group highlights a critical reality: successfully moving beyond a pilot project is a significant challenge for many. The sheer volume, variety, and velocity of data can be overwhelming. If you are still describing what happened in your business instead of predicting what will happen, you may need capacity and expertise to: ✨ Developing a comprehensive data strategy. ✨ Implementing robust data governance frameworks. ✨ Designing scalable analytics architectures for advanced AI applications. Making this transition from predictive and prescriptive analytics requires deep knowledge in data engineering, model development, and deployment. This is where a trusted partner can give your business a lift in this constantly evolving space. At Trility, we are helping organizations build the data foundation necessary to make smart, actionable decisions through AI. https://lnkd.in/g7xB5ymR #AI #ArtificialIntelligence #DataStrategy #DigitalTransformation #PredictiveAnalytics #AIconsulting #TrilityConsulting #ThoughtLeadership

🚨 AI Data Starvation is Real - And SMBs Need to Act Now 🚨 While everyone's talking about AI adoption, there's a critical issue flying under the radar: data starvation. 📊 Your AI is only as good as the data you feed it. Poor quality data = poor AI outcomes. It's that simple. The SMB Reality Check: 🔍 Most small and medium businesses are sitting on goldmines of messy, incomplete, and inconsistent data. Customer records with duplicate entries, sales data scattered across platforms, and operational metrics that don't talk to each other. Sound familiar? You're not alone. Why Clean Data is Your Competitive Advantage: ⚡ → AI models trained on quality data deliver 3x better results → Clean data reduces decision-making time by 40% → You'll actually trust your AI insights (imagine that!) Start Small, Think Big: 🎯 ✅ Pick ONE critical dataset (customer info, sales pipeline, inventory) ✅ Establish simple data quality rules ✅ Invest in basic data cleaning tools ✅ Train your team on consistent data entry ✅ Schedule monthly data health checks The Bottom Line: 💡 While your competitors are chasing the latest AI trends, you could be building the foundation that actually matters. Clean data isn't sexy, but it's what separates AI success stories from expensive experiments. Don't let data starvation kill your AI dreams before they start. 🚀 What's your biggest data quality challenge?

“What’s the new data and analytics?” A sales colleague asked me over coffee the other day. It’s a great question. We’re no longer just talking about data and analytics. We’re talking about Data and AI. 𝗗𝗮𝘁𝗮 𝗶𝘀 𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻. It’s the raw material, the signal, the truth. What has changed is how we use it. 𝗔𝗻𝗮𝗹𝘆𝘁𝗶𝗰𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗮𝗹. It brings depth, context, and human interpretation. It’s how we explore, explain, and understand. But it takes time and subject matter expertise. In today’s world, people want answers faster than they can even form the question. 𝗔𝗜 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗱𝘆𝗻𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗰𝘀. It scans, senses, flags, and suggests as quickly as a conversation. AI doesn’t replace data. It amplifies it. AI doesn’t replace analytics. It accelerates it. It handles the heavy lifting so analysts can focus on what matters: 👉 Asking better questions 👉 Validating insights 👉 Guiding decisions This shift isn’t just technical, it’s strategic. It's about speed, scale, and intelligence. It’s about moving from hindsight to foresight It’s about moving from from insight to action. Data and AI is the new data and analytics. And it’s changing how we lead, compete, and create value. #AI #Data #Analytics #DecisionIntelligence #FutureOfWork #LeadWithValue

🚫 Bad data doesn’t just slow you down — it misleads you. Organizations often underestimate how much poor data erodes trust, delays decision-making, and misguides strategy. At DataQ Consulting, we believe data quality is not a one-time fix, it’s a discipline. Clean, consistent, and reliable data is the foundation that powers analytics, BI, and AI. 👉 Because in the end, speed is useless if you’re heading in the wrong direction. #DataQuality #DataStrategy #DataGovernance #Analytics #AI

I’ve seen this firsthand over the years. Many organizations chase speed and scale, but overlook the quality of the data feeding their systems. The result? Faster wrong decisions. That’s why I believe data quality isn’t optional — it’s foundational. Whether it’s BI dashboards or AI models, everything rests on the accuracy, consistency, and trustworthiness of the underlying data. For us, it’s simple: Better data = Better outcomes.
