Data analytics & BI. One figure, one meaning, wherever it appears.
Records from different systems are brought under shared definitions, so every figure can be traced back to the work that produced it.
Scattered Records from different systems, described in different ways.
Structured Brought together under shared definitions. Related records connect.
Measured Each measure is agreed: what is counted, and how.
Signal One measure crosses the agreed threshold. The rest recede.
Understood The signal traces back to the records that produced it.
Decision A person can act on it, and explain why.
01From data to understanding
A shared definition comes before a useful report.
Every workflow leaves a record: requests, orders, invoices, approvals. That record is spread across systems and spreadsheets, and described differently in each place. Understanding starts when it is brought together and structured, so that a figure means the same thing wherever it appears.
02Common information problems
Signs the information is working against you.
Figures that disagree
Two reports, two answers to the same question, and a meeting spent deciding which is right.
Reports rebuilt by hand
The same spreadsheet work repeated every period, by the people who should be using it.
Definitions that differ
Each team measures the same thing its own way, so nobody can compare.
Dashboards nobody trusts
Numbers that are checked somewhere else before anyone acts on them.
Slow answers
Simple questions that take days, because the answer lives in five places.
No link to the work
Figures that show a problem but not where in the workflow it starts.
03What Tibyan builds
Information structured around decisions.
A structured model of the operation
The records behind the work, brought together and organised the way the business actually runs.
Shared definitions
Agreed measures, written down and applied the same way everywhere.
Reporting built around decisions
Views designed for the decisions people make, not for everything that could be shown.
Quality at the source
Problems in the data surfaced where they are created, before they reach a report.
04How information becomes decisions
Every figure traceable to its source.
A figure is only useful if someone can ask where it came from and get an answer. Everything we build keeps that path open: from the decision, back to the measure, back to the records, back to the work.
05How an engagement works
One real question first.
Every engagement starts from one real question or workflow and moves in this order. Each step is agreed before the next one starts.
- Choose the decisionIdentify the decision, who makes it and the information they use.
- Trace the sourcesTrace the source records and find gaps in quality, definitions or access.
- Agree the measuresWrite down what each measure counts, the data model behind it, and how every figure can be checked.
- Build the modelConnect the sources and build the agreed model, quality checks and reports.
- Check against recordsCheck the figures against source records with the people who will use them.
- Keep it currentReview data quality and update the reporting as decisions and operations change.
Next step
Bring the question your reports cannot answer.
One decision, the figures it depends on, and where they disagree. That is enough to begin.
