The power of actionable analytics for intranets

We've done a comparison of SWOOP Analytics for Viva Engage compared with Viva Engage Advanced Analytics so you can see exactly what you're getting with both.
While much of the Advanced Analytics is for monitoring, SWOOP's approach to analytics is to help people see the strength of their collaborative relationships, the persona they exhibit to other users and nudges to help make improvements.

Need to convince someone? Bring Data (and a good story)
As Daniel Pink suggests “to sell is human”. Even if we do not have a formal ‘selling’ role we are always looking to ‘sell’ someone on our point of view, our recommendations, our need for their help etc.. As data analysts we live and breathe data every day, whether we are looking to develop some new insights, prove a case or simply explore possibilities. In the end we are doing it to influence someone or some group. In these days of ‘evidence based decision-making’ I am wary that one person’s ‘evidence’ is another person’s ‘garbage’. You don’t have to look much further than climate change sceptics to appreciate that. I was therefore intrigued when I came across Shawn Callahan’s recent blog post on “The role of stories in data storytelling”. Shawn talks about the use of ‘story’ before, during and after data analysis.
