What makes Value Driven Analytics different from other analytics consulting companies?
There are many things that make Value Driven Analytics unique, but we want to highlight some key differentiators below to help you make an informed decision when selecting an analytics consulting company.
Rigor, Cost, & Speed
Many analytics consulting companies require at least $100k (often considerably more) for a data science modeling project that takes months before it’s ready to be used. In addition, there is no guarantee around the experience or skill level of the consultant assigned to your project.
We aim to provide a more robust solution in less time at a lower cost compared to other analytics consulting companies. The rigor and timeliness behind our solutions utilize over 13 years of experience applying and transforming analytics at large companies, across many functional areas, and to a great variety of projects. The timeliness and cost effectiveness are driven by creative efficiency techniques, honed with continual innovation and experience.
Relationship with Internal Analytics Team
Many analytics consulting companies are not incentivized to collaborate with or train your analytics team. After all, if they enable your analytics team to build robust analytics assets, you may not need to work with them in the future. There can sometimes be animosity between external analytics consultants and in-house analytics employees, sometimes expressed, but usually concealed; in-house employees are usually given the monotonous task of pulling the data, while external consultants get to do the fun part. Beyond this, very few analytics consulting companies offer a holistic analytics transformation program, perhaps for the same reason or perhaps because transforming an entire organization’s analytics maturity is such a big endeavor.
We have a proven history of and passion for training analysts to learn robust analysis, data science, efficiency, and leadership skills. We offer analytics training for your employees to learn how to apply the analytics concepts we’ve implemented and become more effective informal and formal leaders. In fact, we offer free introductory analytics training on our YouTube channel to help and inspire anyone to become a better analyst. Rather than become a pain point for your in-house analytics team, we’re a source of engagement and career development.
In terms of holistic analytics transformation, this is not only our flagship service, but we have a history of truly transforming organizations from one level of analytics maturity to the next. For the price of what some analytics consulting companies charge for a single data science model build, you can get 5 data science model builds, 8 interactive dashboards, 5 actionable analyses, 2 automated data processes, creation and 4 months facilitating of 4 employee analytics development initiatives, 24 hours of analytics transformation consulting, and over 50 hours of employee analytics training. This is what it takes to achieve analytics transformation at an organization, and we know it works from experience.
Incentives & Flexibility
Many other analytics consulting companies are incentivized to monetize the relationship. You’ll likely be assigned someone who has spent their career in consulting learning how to do this with skill. Need a change from an out-of-the-box solution proposed or have an idea to customize a solution to make it even better? Best case scenario: it can be done, but you’ll have to wait for a product release far into the future or pay an additional customization fee. Worst case scenario: they simply say their solution doesn’t do that.
At Value Driven Analytics, you’ll work with someone who has spent the vast majority of their career applying analytics at companies they’ve directly worked for, across a variety of industries and functional areas. As direct employees, our consultants were incentivized to work hard to design the perfect solution that would truly drive long-term value in order to grow their career. Now, we bring that same passion for results to your organization; that’s where the “value driven” part of our name comes in! We also have a history of customizing solutions to an organization’s unique needs, often coming up with creative solutions to give them a competitive advantage.
