Go Beyond Reports, See Results
GIDAR is an Analytics Method that solves several frequent problems around Business ideas:
- Concentrating on SMART Goals avoid the spread of resources and hunches.
- Helps shape the data strategy. Because when you have a clear goal and ideas to make it happen, you understand what information, data and resources you need.
- Change: Part of GIDAR is to include suggestions and proposals to change the course of action.
- Results: GIDAR closes the cycle of a successful analytics project by comparing results after changes.
GIDAR is Designed to Trigger Change
GOALS
Without Goal, there is no project. If after your goal meeting or workshop you cannot find a clear goal then you shouldn’t be spending resources and you need to revisit your analytics strategy.
INFORMATION
Information comes from known facts, stakeholders, and subject manner experts. That information will facilitate the type of data that we will collect later on and will also help us avoid common pitfalls.
DATA
After defining clear Goals and collecting as much information as possible, you will have a good idea of the data that you need. Here you want to be methodical.
ANALYSIS
It is time to use our grey matter. Put all the information and data together, build and proof your hypothesis. Remember that here we want to answer WHY.
ACTION(S)
Actions mean changes, in a normal situation you are trying to meet a business goal by changing something that is either not working or replicating something that is worked well.
RESULTS
Results are the consequence of actions. If we have taken actions there will be results.
