Background
www.resultworksllc.com
Current State Assessment• Engage with cross-functional team to align to data
visualization definition and how visualization will be used within the organization
• Analyze gaps and opportunities mapped to pain points in current data visualization strategy
Future State Vision and Strategy Development• Reach consensus on future state vision, describing
how the organization will operate in the future—culturally, operationally, and technically
• Develop an Agile approach to define and align to future state use cases that describes how technology will support the business
Strategic Roadmap • Develop direction-setting roadmap reflective of
business priorities and work needed to achieve vision
Tools and Technology Assessment• Define the technology capabilities and architecture
needed to support the use cases• Investigate viable commercial technology solutions
and approaches
Breakthrough Thinking Transforms Data Quality Strategy to Leverage Advanced Predictive Analytical Techniques
Use Case and User Story Development Provides the Foundation for the Future State
Using advanced tools and improved business processes, decision making
becomes proactive, timely, and data-driven
Teams operate with analytical curiosity, using tools to help derive
insights from what the data is telling them
Intelligent Agents scour data to identify and track trends,
anomalies, and resolutions, providing end-to-end traceability
Leverage approaches that are risk-basedand favor error prevention over remediation
and tools ensure the right people are looking at the right data at the right time
On-demand visualizations clearly communicate insights to teams, highlighting key information that may otherwise be overlooked
Agile approach to use case development aids implementation of
solutions in response to evolving business needs
Data Visualization and Analytics Strategy Roadmap
Teams are focused on the operational, transactional activities, rather than data-driven decision makingNeed to evolve from incremental approach to radically transformative changeThere are many tools available; some tools are better than others for certain situationsOrganizations need to think strategically about how to use the data they have and to select tools for automating analyses and decision makingLayering transformative vision with cross-cutting elements and business value solutions on a strategic roadmap enables projects areas to be prioritized and sequenced
Conclusions
Companies have historically focused on checking individualdata points using data edit checks, line listing reports, and—toa lesser extent—basic graphs predicated on checking againstknown business rules
Few companies have any ability to quantitatively measureoverall quality of study data, nor predict when sufficient datawill be available for analysis; any predictions are madequalitatively on instinct and experience
The volume of studies, data, and the need for rapid interimanalyses in support of adaptive programs makes the manualapproaches to visualization and analysis unsustainable
A variety of data visualization tools including Excel, Spotfire,Tableau, and JReview are already in use, but without a clearstrategy and supporting business use cases these tools areselected and applied inconsistently

Look beyond basic charts and graphs to more sophisticated
analysis techniques with prescriptive decision making
and machine learning
Persona
Oversees study data progression to monitor for
key study milestones
Needs to know if milestones like interim analysis are at
risk and what corrective actions can be taken
Manually runs reports to identify study progression issues with variety of tools
Needs automated monitoring of study, patient, enrollment
data without managing different tools
