The new year is now well under way – the Christmas lights are down, the New Year champagne bottles are being recycled and we’ve even navigated the annual joy that is Blue Monday. There’s that fresh feeling of a whole 11 months and 11 days stretching ahead – plenty of time to start taking steps to make the New Year’s resolutions you noted down all the way back in December a reality. Forget the fitness goals and the travel dreams, it’s the data promises that you made to your business that have the most potential to make a difference this year; to deliver a genuinely effective competitive edge. So, where do you start?
"Ideas without action are useless."
– HARVEY MACKAY, American Businessman, author and syndicated columnist
If you followed our advice back in December then you would have added resolutions like “start bringing your ideas to life” to the data commitments you make for your business in 2022. This is probably the most critical moment for progress because, as businessman Harvey Mackay said, “ideas without action are useless.” Ideas validation is how you make your ideas useful. It is something which many organisations have only just begun to explore when it comes to data products and processes.
What if you just don’t know where to start?
You’re not alone. There is a real enthusiasm among the business community in 2022 to start extracting real value from data but, often, an equally large slice of confusion over how to start doing that. Collaboration can make a big difference with goals like this. Just as you might appreciate the inspiration and accountability of working towards something you want to achieve with a coach, or a friend, the right support with respect to ideas validation can help you get clear on what you’re able to do - and identify the next steps forward.
Samuylov.ai is the ideal partner/coach/cheerleader/motivator for this particular set of resolutions. We can help you test your ideas to assess your data infrastructure and develop new data-driven projects that will sharpen your competitive edge, and drive up confidence in terms of what you can do with the data that you have access to. We can help you to develop a data-driven prototype and – if it’s successful – to scale it to production. With the support of our experienced team this could be the year that your data dreams come true, whether that relates to goals you’ve set or the outcomes that you’re hoping to achieve with them.
What does ideas validation look like with Samuylov.ai?
We like to keep everything as simple as possible so we will work to help you develop your infrastructure and projects in three steps:
- Investigating and evaluating the data infrastructure that your organisation currently owns. The focus here is on identifying where there are opportunities to add value to the business. We can also frequently highlight opportunities you may have missed for reducing existing costs.
- Considering available technology. In particular, we will be looking at how a given technology could be implemented within the business in order to generate value from your data.
- Bringing your ideas to life. We’ll start by examining the ideas you’ve had for data-driven products and assessing them for feasibility, adding our own expertise and insights to help bring your vision to life. When we’ve created something tangible together, our team will then go on to build prototypes quickly so that you can start using them as soon as possible.
