Business Intelligence vs Business Analytics INFS 2036 7 Intelligence is what you have and analytics is what you can do with it
Howard Behar, ex-President of Starbucks International, grew the company from 28 to 15,000 locations by: ✮ Staying Connected — he knew each employee, their family and goals, using Starbucks to support those goals. ✮ Making Culture Intentional — as the company grew each territory manager stayed connected to the employees; ✮ Measuring What Matters — a metric for employee success was doing something special for another employee, a customer, or the community. Metrics on how many coffees or pastries they sold were not used! ✮ Building the right team — when building the international team he passed on the candidates asking their new title + salary. He hired the candidate who asked "How can I help make it happen?" ✮ Keeping his eye on the big picture — leadership was based on care, compassion and putting people and values first (compared to struggling companies focusing solely on cost management and organisational charts). m e a s u r i n g w h a t m a t t e r s INFS 2036 (^) https://www.inc.com/ian-altman/how-starbucks-kept-its-culture-while-growing-from- 28 - to- 15000 - stores.html 8 Starbucks has built a business valued at over $75 billion by focusing on people and communities, not coffee.
