Their story

The organisation recently embarked upon an ambitious project to use the wealth of data in the company’s IT systems to inform strategy, planning and everyday decision-making. The aim is to build a data-driven culture by providing executives with the tools and information they need to validate and fine tune their decisions, and at the same time, increase responsiveness to member needs.

The solution

Peoplecare’s Manager, Products and Business Analytics, Michael Karagorgovski, wanted to provide executives with more, relevant information to support decision-making. He planned to achieve this by creating dashboards that would enable users to identify trends and metrics within minutes of glancing at their PC each morning.

“Yellowfin has enabled us to gain executive buy-in. You don’t have to be a data scientist to use it. We have the flexibility to create visual pieces that enable non-technical managers to view snapshots, click and explore and dive deeper into data. They can identify and know whether business is tracking as expected.”
