AtN Service Area #6: Actionable Analytics
Creating focus across your marketing efforts by capturing the 'locations' and messaging needs of prospects along with the efforts of competitors
What is AtN's Actionable Analytics?
We canʼt count the number of times weʼve seen a companyʼs analytics reports and wondered why they were even bothering to run them. Why? The data was just that -- data -- not information and certainly not decision support reports.
It comes down to what we as a company expect from an analytics effort. Our number one criteria is addressed by this question: Is this information actionable?
What does “Actionable” mean?
While there's analytics reports that are beautifully formatted and others which are incredibly detailed, the clear winner is Analytics reports which speak the language of a non technical manager (say marketing or sales), and helps them quickly establish the right “action” items that need be taken to improve the results of efforts on the website and elsewhere.

Actionable Analytics From Opposing Angles:
When You'll Miss It
Planning Meetings: There's no substitute for really focused analysis in a planning process. Its absence creates slower decisions and more conflict.
Phase 2 Programs: The hope is when you enter the second phase of program, the first phase will teach you a lot -- things you can use to scale the effort more successfully.
Why You'll Love it
Foundation: Business is about decisions and good decisions are based on strong foundations. There is nothing more valuable that decision making process which is supported by extensive relevant data.
Budgeting: Many people see budgeting and forecasting as throwing darts at a board. Illogical and essentially guesswork -- with questionable reliability. Changing that is a major achievement -- and AtN's analytics approach is one of the few ways you can achieve that.
