Over the last couple of weeks we’ve been running a survey to find out how people feel about reporting. In the survey, we asked respondents to provide three words that come to mind when you think of reporting. Semantic text analysis is great, but the best way I found to extract the essence of this question was through haiku. These are your words, rearranged.
We weren’t surprised to find that the role of the report creator isn't easy…
boring, tedious
reports are one big hassle
just order taking
The feelings dip into frustration...
puking facts lumped graphs
their expectations unmet
too cumbersome, stop
Consumers of reports expressed their own concerns with the state of reporting…
designed for experts
unread columnar tables
give too much detail
But we must not give up — there is so much potential for value...
old needle haystack
urgent, accurate, pressure
undervalued read
We have a long tradition at Juice of expressing ourselves via haiku, and Chris’s one about Juice is still a wonderful summary of how we can help.
What are these numbers?
Sea of corporate data
Juice is your life raft
