FAQ
What problems do you solve?
Great Lakes Analytics helps organizations align their data strategy with business goals, often by building analytics systems that improve decision-making, forecasting, and operational efficiency. Whether it’s a supply chain that needs better visibility, a marketing team looking to improve targeting, or executives needing clearer insights, we translate business needs into scalable analytic solutions.
Do you build the solutions yourself or just offer strategy?
Both. We partner with clients from strategy through execution, whether that means helping your team structure a roadmap or building the models and reports. We also work alongside internal teams to strengthen their skills and ensure ownership of the solution long-term.
How will your work help us make better decisions?
Our goal is to bring clarity to complexity. We design systems that give you access to timely and reliable insights so decisions can be made faster, with more confidence. Whether it’s understanding demand shifts or identifying operational inefficiencies, we focus on making your data decision-ready.
We Already Have a BI Team, how would you fit in?
We complement internal teams by bringing external perspective, helping prioritize work that aligns to business goals, and accelerating results. We can also mentor or upskill team members to improve adoption, design quality, or strategic alignment over time.
What makes your approach different from other consultants?
Our approach starts with business clarity, not technology. We focus on understanding how decisions are made, what metrics matter, and where the gaps are. From there, we design an analytic ecosystem that is actionable and sustainable. An ecosystem that is aligned with your strategic priorities, delivered with a practical approach that fits your existing capabilities.
How do you measure success?
Success is measured by improved decisions, stronger alignment, and measurable business results. that could mean an improvement in delivery times, better customer segmentation, or simply clearer visibility into your operations. Every engagement is structured around outcomes that matter to your business.
We already have reports and dashboards. How is what you provide different, and how will it help us make better decisions?
Most companies have dashboards, but still struggle to use them for real decisions. We design analytics that focus on what matters—clarifying key decisions, aligning metrics to business goals, and cutting through the noise. The goal isn’t more data, it’s providing clarity resulting in more confident and faster decisions.
What if our data isn't ready yet?
That is a common and understandable question. We help assess where you are and build a pragmatic strategy forward. Whether you need to clean up source systems, rethink KPIs, or simply get more out of what you already have, we’ll work with what’s real today, not an ideal future state.
