Hertzler Systems Promotes Data Driven Organizations

According to Evan Miller, President & CEO of Hertzler Systems, “While you would have to travel a long way to find a business leader who would argue against the need to create a data driven organization, if you put a dozen leaders in a room you would probably end up with nearly a dozen definitions of the ‘data driven organization’.”

Miller is focused on data for business process management and continuous improvement in a manufacturing environment. Herztler is not a panacea and does not attempt to address all applications of data (such as product design or market analysis).

Envisioning the Data Driven Organization

Miller frequently encounters executives who say “Data is not the problem. I have tons of data. But I have no knowledge.” Instead, he wants business to imagine an organization where this is the norm:

“We always know exactly what is happening in our organization. We have up-to-the-minute knowledge because we get warnings of trends and anomalies in real-time. At the same time, we don’t have to wade through a lot of noise; only the significant issues rise to the top. Summary information is easy to understand, and supporting details are available instantly. We know where to focus our precious resources to get the best results. We pay almost nothing for the data that gives us this knowledge.”

“Knowledge is power and the Data Driven Organization has the right data, in the right form, and it has it right now,” according to Miller.
