Data-driven management (DDM) is on everyone's lips. New technologies offer unimagined opportunities if they are used with concept and competence. The buzzwords are Big Data, Blockchain, Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning or Predictive Marketing. But according to a recent study by Fujitsu, just 5% of all companies today can be considered "data-driven," meaning that 95% of all organizations are flying blind on data. This represents a huge risk for all stakeholders. Moreover, in this context, many managers believe that simply buying an AI-IT solution will solve this data blindness problem, which is a huge fallacy. Because just like children in elementary school who first learn mental arithmetic and only then reach for the calculator, managers must first master and learn the basic concepts and competencies of data-driven management in order to be able to apply and use these new technologies in a meaningful and valid way.

Without prior knowledge, you get a comprehensive insight into the subject matter with many relevant concepts and tips. The most important terms in the environment of data-driven management are explained. The process model shows and describes the individual steps simply and understandably for everyone, in order to quickly and effectively implement a stringent data-driven management without external experts and investments.
