18 A data-driven organization is one that puts data to work to improve business outcomes, both by using data to drive a rigorous decision process and by making the data available for stimulating innovation and providing value to customers. When data is locked into an inflexible framework, siloed, or difficult to get at, it becomes a barrier to business agility, preventing the company from responding to opportunities or from getting products to market quickly. Even worse, when a business doesn't drive its processes and investments through the use of data, it is foregoing important contact with the market it is trying to serve or passing up feedback that could help it succeed better in its initiatives.
