Selecting successful projects
At this point in the process, the analytics leadership and the AA&AI COE team can begin to discuss and select an operational area or areas to partner with to begin to evaluate options for analysis and possible operational improvement. The AA&AI COE will discuss the potential areas for improvement with the operational or line-of-business executives and teams. The discussion and selection of areas for examination and improvement through data and analytics sounds like it should be straightforward and encounter little to no contention in the process, but even in the most apolitical organizations, this is not the case.
