RETHINKING INSIGHTS: GOING FROM WHAT TO WHY

Noah Horton
CEO
November 10, 2021


When we talk about business analytics we often stress the importance of going
from what to why. It’s all about getting that deeper understanding of why your
metrics are moving in a certain direction in order to know how to implement
change.

In this post, we’re breaking down the process of going from what to why and how
it can help your business get deeper insights that lead to revenue growth. Watch
the video below or keep scrolling to read along.

‍




HOW WELL DO YOU TRULY KNOW YOUR BUSINESS ANALYTICS? 


I’m sure you know what is happening, we all know what it means if our metrics
are trending up or down. That’s why we built all those dashboards and reports,
and spreadsheets in the first place. But as soon as you tell your team what is
happening, the next question is always why? Why are those the results? And once
we understand why, it’s followed up with how do we change it?

If you truly know your analytics you can answer all three questions: what, why,
and how. Unfortunately, a lot of us get stuck at the why. Why are my metrics
trending up or down? Why are the numbers showing this? And if we’re honest,
finding that why is one of the hardest parts of the job. Despite having access
to multiple dashboards and reports, those things only tell you what is
happening, not why. And if we can’t get to why we can’t get to how. That makes
it really hard to implement change and grow the business.
‍




GETTING TO THE WHY FASTER

Today, the only way to get to that why is to go through the analytics process.
Typically this is done by a data analyst. They take a couple of the data sources
they think may have the why hidden within them. They bring those data sets
together. They choose how to aggregate the data. They drop features and maybe
add in more. It’s only a small sliver of your data that will actually end up
being used. Next, the analyst starts sorting through that data using BI tools to
find insights, to find your “whys”. From there they prioritize what they think
are the most important and present those insights to you. It’s a lot of work and
it’s a slow process. 


At Unsupervised, we noticed how many tools try to address the what or the how,
but they don’t really address the why. So we built a platform that helps revenue
teams get to that why and get there faster. We do this by automating the data
preparation, insight generation, and prioritization of the opportunities found.
That way, data analysts can spend less time preparing data and more time finding
opportunities that will drive change. 



Unsupervised uses AI to analyze an immense amount of complex data in less time
than the traditional analytics process. Not only that, but because our software
doesn’t limit the data and leverages unsupervised learning to process it, it
removes bias. This means that the things you never would have thought to look
for can be uncovered. The best part is, as your data grows, you can continue
adding it to the system, helping you to uncover better patterns and better whys.


UNDERSTANDING INSIGHTS BETTER

If you can get to the why faster, and find even more insights you’ve unlocked so
much more opportunity for growth. Instead of your data team spending the
majority of their time on preparing your business analytics. They can now start
better understanding the insights and moving you towards the how even faster.
Revenue teams can work with analysts to uncover how pulling different levers
will in return create different outcomes. Bigger outcomes. More money. 


Let’s go through an example, Charlotte’s Web is the largest producer of CBD
products in the US. They’re a CPG company selling to drug stores nationwide as
well as having a direct-to-consumer channel. They need to understand what moves
average order value (AOV) and how to increase customer lifetime value (CLV) on
their direct channel? 


The data Charlotte’s Web is working with is incredibly complex consisting of
over 400 million rows, 1200 columns, and 17 tables of website interactions,
customer data, and transactions. From there, the Unsupervised AI expanded the
data by 400% adding in new features found by the AI. The results? Over 50
actionable insights within the first few months of usage leading to over $2
million in opportunities. They were able to understand the why behind their
insights and in return provide immediate value to customers.
