White Paper: Why Most Analytics Projects are Destined to Fail

I just published a comprehensive white paper that tackles one of the most expensive problems in business today: analytics projects that nobody uses.

The Real Problem Hiding in Plain Sight

Most organizations think their analytics initiatives fail because of technical issues: bad data, wrong platform, poor visualizations. But that's not what kills projects.

The real culprit? Poor adoption.

Up to 87% of data science projects never reach production, and 60-80% of analytics investments become expensive "shelfware." The most sophisticated dashboard becomes worthless when it doesn't fit into daily workflows or when users aren't properly enabled.

What's Inside "In Plain Sight: Why Analytics Efforts Fail"

This white paper reveals why access doesn't equal adoption and provides a complete framework for building analytics that people actually use:

The Adoption-First Methodology

• How successful organizations treat adoption as a strategic pillar from day one

• Why "Field of Dreams" thinking kills analytics projects

• The difference between granting access and driving engagement

  
  

The 6-Element Success Blueprint

• Role-based application design that fits real workflows

• User enablement paths beyond one-time training

• Governance without friction that builds trust

• Continuous feedback loops that keep solutions relevant

• Adoption metrics that actually matter

  
  

The "Stop Doing" Revolution

• Identifying outdated habits that block analytics success

• How to eliminate processes that compete with your new tools

• Creating company-wide accountability for change

  
  

Real Solutions for Real Problems

• Moving from generic reporting to decision-focused dashboards

• Building sustainable user engagement and culture change

• Transforming analytics from expense to strategic advantage

  
  

Introducing the Adoption Readiness Assessment

Along with the white paper, I've developed a comprehensive Adoption Readiness Assessment to help organizations evaluate their current analytics adoption capabilities. This diagnostic tool examines every facet that impacts adoption success—from technology infrastructure and user skills to cultural readiness and executive engagement.

The assessment provides you with a clear picture of where you stand and a roadmap for improvement, ensuring your next analytics initiative delivers real business impact instead of becoming another expensive disappointment.

Your Analytics Don't Have to Become Shelfware

When adoption becomes your north star, analytics transform from costly experiments into competitive advantages. The technology becomes an enabler, not the solution; because the real solution is a workforce empowered to make confident, data-driven decisions.
