Business Data Analytics Workshop
  -- tools, data & methods

Business Data Analytics can help any business more effectively reach goals and objectives. Whether a new or established business, serving a county or national market, similar tools and methods apply.

  • How can you examine patterns/characteristics of existing customers?
  • Where are prospective customers and possible unknown opportunities?
  • How do you best define your market area?
    - what geographies have the largest number of prospects?
  • What are the sales potential in this market area?
    - what are the best measures to examine sales potential?
  • What is your competitive position?
    - how many other establishments offer a similar service in your market area?
  • How can your sales data identify geographic areas of opportunity?

Business Data Analytics tools, data and methods covered in the workshop can help answer these questions and facilitate strategic planning. We cover key steps to help you use Business Data Analytics in a business or other organization. These applications make use of a GIS project and related datasets for a business case study.

Trader Joe's & Whole Foods
The workshop uses Trader Joe's as the focus business and Whole Foods as a competitor business. These are both fascinating businesses and the analytical framework could have just as easily been Whole Foods as the focus business. These applications are focused on the "supermarkets and other grocery (except convenience) stores" industry (NAICS 445110) but could have been any other industry. We generalize as to methods, data resources and tools where applicable. Apply these methods, data resources and tools to your situation.
