Abstract

Data-driven decision-making is now key to determining an organization's success in the digital age. The capabilities to effectively analyze and interpret data is critical for decisions to reflect changing market conditions. Organizations need to develop their Human Resources (HR) skills in data analytics, as decisions that are not driven on data are often risky and inaccurate. Providing analytical skills to all levels of the organization, supported by the right technology infrastructure, can strengthen more strategic and evidence-driven decision-making. This helps organizations increase operational efficiency and create sustainable competitive advantage. In developing these capabilities, leaders play an important role in creating a culture that encourages the effective use of data. The success of data-driven decision-making depends on the technology, and how a data-driven culture can develop in every aspect of the team's work. For this reason, it is important for organizations to provide relevant training, align the use of data in every level of decision-making, and ensure that the technology used is able to support this process properly.
