Dataviz, an essential tool to gain time and understanding

‍

Nowadays, data is necessary for decision-making and taking the right actions for all business lines.. The major challenge that comes out of this is the problem of adopting a data management tool.

‍

To do this, it is necessary for actors to have access to the right tools and the right data to work and for the data to be easily consumed thanks to a tool that is easy to use.

‍

The challenge of datavizualiation is therefore to bring this ease of understanding of information to the business world in order to maximize the rate of use.

‍

It is therefore essential that the data analysis tool is based on user expectations and that it manages data from end to end.

‍

To ensure maximum performance, we recommend combining a data analysis tool and Staffing software. This association guarantees you a follow-up of your quality results and a staffing adapted to your needs.

‍

Combining data and intuition with your staffing tool: the winning combination for informed decision-making

‍

Data is a factual piece of information, and is only relevant if it serves as a starting point for reasoning, leading to decision making and action.

‍

Besides that, there is intuition, a form of knowledge, of human reasoning that we use every day, it constitutes the major part of our activity in action.

In the end, it is the human in the use of this data.

Data and intuition are inseparable and essential on a daily basis, but the human part can be disproportionate compared to data.

When we see that 3 out of 4 actors do not have the data to make the right decisions, it is a problem. So, 2 biases occur:

  • They rely on a regular and predictable environment (intellectual automation) so the environment is fluid
  • They rely only on their individual experiences, and therefore their intellectual knowledge

Napta got it right, and therefore offers a Staffing tool whom combines the power of data with the intuition of managers to assign the right projects to the right collaborators. Staffing software help businesses optimize their resources, improving efficiency and productivity.

THEStaffing tool So helping you find the ideal situation is to re-establish the data/intuition balance by finding the real balance of what the data will put forward to us and what the intuition/human will choose to decide.

‍

TO REMEMBER

  • Commercial/organizational/financial/IT performance should be monitored as a priority for guarantee your performance and boost your results. This data is visible in real time in a Staffing tool and it allows you to insure quality follow-up and make it easier to anticipate possible problems.
