The two of us first compared notes in November 2013, and we have been iterating our way through this maturity model ever since. Our initial “aha” moment over a dinner meeting near Chicago was made all the more enticing by how fully our perspectives seemed to dovetail despite two very different careers. We aligned on how the right combination of technology, governance, and human engagement can launch enterprise analytics to new heights while preserving the coveted start-up-style agility that tends to atrophy at scale.
What was missing, however, was a framework for understanding and optimizing this alchemy so it can be replicated by any company with the vision and resources to try. After several years of joint collaboration and research, that framework now exists as the Sentient Enterprise, and this book is its manifesto.
Consider the Sentient Enterprise your road map for harmonizing analytic power, business practices, and human dynamics in ways that have already begun to transform and supercharge what’s possible for big data and the industries that leverage it well. Inspired by our own progressive understanding of these trends over our careers and by the collaborative alchemy that has brought that evolution to the point we’re at now, we’re able to present the Sentient Enterprise to you as a viable framework for analytic agility, ready for application to your own business.
CHAPTER 1
Reimagining the Enterprise
The Stained Glass Bistro in Evanston, Illinois, is a bustling wine bar with impressive wine flights and a one-of-a-kind cheese and charcuterie plate. Nonetheless, your coauthors weren’t paying much attention to the ambience during our dinner there together on November 12, 2013. By then, we were immersed in an animated conversation – begun hours before in Mohan’s office, just a short walk away at the Kellogg School of Management – about the startling evolution now underway for analytics in large enterprises.
Introduced by our mutual friend Mary Gros, we had come together as two veteran technology professionals with decades of experience under our collective belts, trying to chart our industry from two very different perspectives: Mohan as an academic researcher, consultant, and technology company board member; Oliver as a longtime analytics practitioner and executive at major companies like eBay, Sears, and now Teradata Corporation.
As the ideas and the wine continued to flow around the table, we came to realize how our different perspectives were like complementary puzzle pieces that when fit together suddenly painted a clear picture of the journey that a data-driven enterprise needs to undertake. We began to see that rapid developments in technology and the explosion of data are now transforming the very nature of large enterprises – and that maturing analytics capabilities are the key to future survival.
Our insights that cold Tuesday in November were as enduring as they were sudden. Even the calendar date, 11/12/13, seemed auspicious as we began our own step-by-step journey in developing a capability maturity model for large data-driven companies, and putting it together in the book you’re now reading. As you will see in the pages that follow, we’re on an evolution toward an end state – a journey every big company should take, but only a few brave ones have started – that we call the “Sentient Enterprise.”
