Business Intelligence 101

Domo

I’ve never been a fan of buzzwords or language that isn’t clear, intuitive or easily understood. It seems like every industry has its own vocabulary. Fine for the insiders, but it’s limiting when trying to communicate with a broader group. Business intelligence is no different. As BI starts to spill out of the realm of IT and data professionals, our team thought it might be useful to provide business users with this BI 101 cheat sheet.

HR’s Gotta Go Social

Domo

At Domo we are in the midst of a social experiment. I mean really a true “social” networking experiment. Our staff is trying out just about every type of social tool out there from likes of TweetDeck to Codecademy. It’s actually pretty interesting to see that our admin assistants are way more “social” than our execs…I’ll chalk that up to a generational thing.

A Perspective from the Petri Dish

Domo

When I was in architecture school, I did a project inspired by the artist Piet Mondrian. In the course of my work, I came across this quote from Mondrian, “I don’t want pictures, I want to find things out.” A decade later, I didn’t expect to find a parallel between Mondrian and our CEO and Founder, Josh James, but a month ago Josh kicked off the #domosocial experiment by saying something to the effect of, “I’m not sure what’s going to happen when we do

Who has time to be social?

Domo

Like many Domo social blogs, mine starts out the same: “When I first heard about the Domo social experiment…” I was worried I’d get sucked into the Facebook vortex that I was in when I first joined in December 2008. Back then I would spend hours finding all of my relatives (I have a lot) and the long-lost high school and college friends. I didn’t spend the time pontificating (not the Roman Catholic kind) so much as catching up on everyone else’s lives.

From Casual Contributor to Cyberstalker – The Parable of the Weeds

Domo

As I stand out on the back steps looking over what can only be described as a small thriving jungle, I can’t help but feel a little overwhelmed. The yard has been completely overrun with weeds. I know it needs to be done. I know it will make my wife, my neighbors, and even my father, who is 400 miles away, very happy. I even know that at the end of the day I will feel some sense of satisfaction myself.

Today’s BI Forecast: Clear Visibility. Have you noticed that meteorologists get the weather forecast wrong at least 50% of the time? In business, we do our own forecasting and, more times than not, we get it wrong. Businesses need forecasting and predictive analysis for demand and inventory planning, budgeting, sales quotas, marketing campaigns and procurement.

Privacy Concerns Go Out the Window When It Comes to Winning (And Why Foursquare is Social Crack)

Domo

Foursquare is one of the social apps we are using as part of the #domosocial experiment. I’ve been aware of foursquare for years, have met the founder and senior execs who are fantastic — but never felt I needed foursquare to improve my life. I’ve always had an uneasy feeling about broadcasting my whereabouts to the world through apps like this one and the loss of privacy that comes along with doing that.

The Data Warehouse Dilemma

Domo

As head of client services, I get to partner with our customers who are trying to solve real problems with Domo. A lot of their action is driven by end-user observations: our reporting is too difficult to use, too non-existent, too slow, too limited, too ugly and so on. But we also work with quite a few companies who have made a great investment in traditional business intelligence and are now running into some serious capability limitations.

So much more…

Domo

I enjoy playing and watching sports. Sometimes I have an opportunity to really watch teams and players develop. When I have a chance to follow a sport in more detail it leads me to really enjoy the games more. Better understanding the players, the coaches, their history and their struggles makes the games richer and more entertaining. The #domosocial experiment has done the same thing to work for me.

Learning to love Twitter: A social media expert reflects on how he got it wrong

Domo

This is not how I thought the future would turn out. Eleven years ago, I began work with my co-author Shayne Bowman on a paper for the American Press Institute called We Media: How Audiences Are Shaping the Future of News and Information. It was downloaded nearly 500,000 times and eventually became a sort of playbook for the likes of CNN, BBC and MSNBC as they struggled to navigate the turbulent media landscape of the new millennium.

Don’t Quit Your Day Job

I learned about Facebook years ago sitting with some friends in the best Thai joint in Silicon Valley. I learned about a very early version of Twitter when a friend told me his immediate response to one of our larger-than-usual Bay Area earthquake was to tweet and check if all his friends were okay. I have written 509 blog posts on my personal blog over the course of five years.

Looking Past the Same Old Sales Metrics

Domo

This post is really all about making sure you don’t become what I like to call “VP of Sales Road Kill.” For sales leaders, the metrics we choose to watch makes all the difference. More than once in my career I thought the month or the quarter was in good shape, only to find out I was looking at the wrong number. Not that the metric itself was inaccurate, but that it was a superficial measure of success – one that didn’t give me the deeper insight I needed to accurately pr

In Terms of Privacy, Not All Social Networks are Created Equally (and Why It Should Matter)

Domo

I was part of the group that had objections to the #domosocial experiment on the grounds of privacy. My desire to not use certain social networks was less about a lack of exposure to them, and more about my own beliefs that I should not hand over data to an organization that uses my data as a commodity. Many of these companies don’t seem to have the greatest track record of privacy.

Breaking the Facebook Commandment

Domo

Before I was a Domosapien, I was a freelance developer that coded alone in dark rooms for 8-10 hour stretches per day. Needless to say, “social” is not a word that described this phase of my life. Although working alone forced me to expand my skill-set to cover all aspects of my business, my professional network — the part they always tell you is WAY more important than “what” you know — was going nowhere.

Social Mobile Media

Domo

As I have been participating in the #domosocial experiment, I am continually reminded of how our world is more connected today than it ever has been before. It used to be that I would have to be on a computer in order to read my emails or to access my social networking sites. Now that I have an iPhone, I can do that from anywhere I have access to a wireless or cellular network.

The Social Dissociation

Domo

When Josh went on stage and announced the #domosocial experiment, I was a bit disappointed. It felt as though we were idolizing cat picture projects and hoisting them as the only people understanding UX, whereas I often see them in quite the opposite light. I can certainly see the value of understanding the latest in user experience, but to suggest that the best of UX comes entirely from social projects is laughable.
