Welcome to measuring analytical impact! You've built amazing skills in insights, storytelling, and recommendations. But here's the crucial question: are your analyses actually driving business decisions and outcomes?
This is where analysis becomes measurable business value.
Engagement Message
When did you last check if your recommendations were implemented?
Analytical impact has two layers: decision influence and business outcomes. Did stakeholders act on your recommendations? Did those actions create the expected business results?
Both matter, but they're measured differently and on different timelines.
Engagement Message
Which layer do you currently track more consistently?
Decision tracking measures uptake of your recommendations. "We recommended expanding Product A to the West Coast market, and leadership approved $2M budget within 60 days."
This shows your analytical influence on business decisions.
Engagement Message
What percentage of your recommendations typically get implemented?
Outcome tracking measures business results from implemented recommendations. "West Coast expansion generated $800K revenue in Q1, hitting 80% of our projected target."
This proves your analytical predictions and business acumen.
Engagement Message
What's one outcome you successfully predicted and tracked?
Feedback loops systematically collect impact data. Schedule 30-60 day follow-ups with stakeholders: "Has the pricing change been implemented? What early results are you seeing?"
Regular check-ins turn impact measurement from accident to system.
