Technology is almost always supportive of character, says ORTEC’s Chief Technology & Innovation Officer Patrick Hennen. “At most, you can use highly innovative technology as a driver, but even then you shouldn’t be using it at all costs. The technology has to create value for the business; business should be able to do something with that technology that was not possible before. Ultimately, technology is an enabler, not an end in itself.”
This is the fourth article in the series on Five Ways of Translating Data into Better Decision-Making. In this article, Patrick Hennen, Chief Technology and Innovation Officer at ORTEC, discusses the role of technology in data-driven decision making.

In a data-driven organization, knowledge of data science is not and should not be limited to a select group of data specialists. Since all employees will encounter data applications in their jobs at some point in time, and to some degree, they will have to receive training adapted to their own specific level or – often even more importantly – they should be included in the change process. The more people understand the why of data-driven decision-making, the greater is the success. It requires a thorough approach that keeps tabs on the required mindset, skillset and toolset.
This is the third article in the series on Five Ways of Translating Data into Better Decision-Making. In this article, Robert Monné, manager of The Analytics Academy and Practice Lead of Organizational Development at ORTEC, discusses the importance of the right mindset, knowledge, and training, as well as their application in everyday practice.

Businesses looking to adopt a data-driven approach tend to focus first
on creating or acquiring the type of technology that can provide the innovative opportunities they’re looking for. But technology is only a part of the puzzle: the success of a digital transformation depends entirely on changes within the organization and whether there’s a solid plan in place. It takes a careful strategy to make clear what changes are needed – and what technological solutions help drive these changes. Implementing this strategy requires a consistent roadmap that carefully aligns various components of the plan.
This article is the second out of five articles as part of the series on Five Ways of Translating Data into Better Decision-Making. It is powered by Rianne Langenberg, Managing Consultant, and focuses on changes in organizations and operating processes.
From the very beginning of the coronavirus outbreak, the definition of time has changed radically. In our personal lives we all experienced a complete free fall from the fast-paced lives we considered normal. While for some it seems like a cramped life in a gated community, many also experience it as a time of consciousness and reflection. In business life, the luxury of time seems to have disappeared completely. Businesses that once took one to three years in planning and executing their digital strategy, now have shown an unprecedented ability to change rapidly. In this article, we provide you a glance on what effects of the coronavirus outbreak might be permanent, and on how to turn these effects into opportunities to shape the future of your business.
It is hard to grasp what the total impact of the coronavirus outbreak will be. But already now we can state that the status quo is turned upside down. Things we took for granted seem to be not so trivial anymore. We are being challenged on our main life support systems such as healthcare, education, food and supplies. Those support systems are confronted with intense changes and high uncertainty of supply and demand.
