undefined. Introduction. The success of an organization greatly depends on the effectiveness of the decision being made. When good decisions are made, the implemented strategies will be effective, and the business processes will be optimized. An organization will succeed if its processes are effective. The organization will need information and insights from business analytics to make good and effective decisions. This presentation discusses the reasons for implementing business analytics in a client's business, three departments that would benefit from BI, and how to use artificial intelligence to enhance organizational decision-making..

undefined. Reasons for Implementing Business Analytics in a Client's Business Operations.

undefined. Cont... Secondly, business analytics helps the organization in enhancing its decision-making processes. The organization gets the power to make better decisions faster, which increases the organization's ability to handle issues quickly. This ensures the organization does not spend a lot of resources implementing ineffective strategies that will not address the situation (Stair & Reynolds, 2014)..

undefined. Cont... Thirdly, business analytics helps in creating targeted strategies and marketing campaigns. The business can use data and insights from business analytics to tailor their marketing strategies and campaigns to focus on the right audience. This information comes from analyzing customer data from online shopping, trends, and behaviors (Stair & Reynolds, 2014)..

Organizations can use insights they get from analyzing data using business analytics to increase operational efficiencies. These insights come from the business's ability to deduce meaningful patterns to improve its products and services (Stair & Reynolds, 2014)..

undefined. Cont... The fifth benefit is that business analytics helps businesses to identify new product and service opportunities. Business analytics helps the organization to identify market gaps and develop new products and goods that will address these gaps. Businesses can also use the insights to improve their current products (Stair & Reynolds, 2014)..

undefined. Three Departments in the Organization that Would Benefit from BI.

undefined. Cont... Secondly, the human resource department will benefit from BI in several ways. Business intelligence helps the department with workforce analytics as it provides insights into employee matters like performance and turnover rates. The tool is also used for assessing training effectiveness programs by tracking employee skills development and performance improvements (Turban, 2014)..

undefined. Cont... Thirdly, BI will also greatly benefit the research and development department. It will give the department access to market trends, customer preferences, and competitor analysis data. The staff can use this data to develop new products and services. The department will also benefit from insights into product performance and customer feedback. These insights are used for refining and products promoting innovation (Turban, 2014)..

undefined. Impact of AI on Decision-Making. AI improves decision-making through data analysis and insights. AI systems analyze large volumes of data and give insights for making better and more informed decisions. This is because the decisions have access to useful information that helps them to understand the business environment comprehensively (Whittlestone, 2021)..

undefined. Cont... AI systems also help analyze historical data, market trends, and other useful information to forecast future trends and outcomes. Therefore, the organization and the decision-makers can anticipate market changes, operational needs, and customer behavior. Therefore, the decision-makers get to capitalize on opportunities (Whittlestone, 2021)..

undefined. Conclusion. Organizations seek to remain competitive in the business environment and to do so, they must adopt technologies like business intelligence, business analytics, and artificial intelligence. Many organizations have made significant investments in these technologies, contributing a lot to their success. These technologies help organizations to make informed decisions that impact operational efficiency..
