5 ways you can work better with data

It is impossible to keep up with the speed at which data grows in your organisation, however you can continuously improve how you work with data. Here are 5 of the key ways:

1. Transfer the heavy lifting of data processing to scalable technologies – this frees you up to focus on what the data is telling you
2. Work more visually with data – it is more efficient and helps you tell your story better
3. Bring as much of your data into a standardised format as you can – accessing multiple sources through different software/portals creates barriers
4. Give your colleagues direct access to some of the key numbers – it will reduce demands on your time
5. Collaborate – more Analysts will lead to better debate and develop a richer story more quickly
