But pitfalls abound. Projects started with a «rip‑and‑replace» mindset, not taking advantage of infrastructure already in place.

The questions are what to look for, where to look and how to transform data into insights. Insights manifest themselves when your employees are able to reframe problems and shrug off past experiences and old prejudices. When the right answer suddenly appears, following the despair of trial and error.
Despite tech break‑throughs, humans still play the most important role, they are the ones transforming data to insights and need the right skill set to retrieve, understand and use data to solve business problems.
Insight is mainly a mind‑set. However, in an increasingly complex world, technology and your ability to use technology determine how quickly you can arrive at this insight. In Mindshift, we base our deliveries on your existing systems. We are experts at pulling out required data from any system, so that you get your questions answered quickly, leaving your IT‑department undisturbed.
Insights occur when you are able to quantify phenomena that seem complex and blurred. Insights release energy, provide direction and starts a chain reaction.
That is the power of insights.
