Abstract

Much research has been carried out on factors influencing acceptance, success, and pervasiveness of business intelligence (BI) and analytics in organisations. This study focusses on the range of skills/competencies, and attitudes/mindsets, which can lead to an organization becoming sustainably data-driven and innovative through BI and analytics (BI&A). Following a literature review, business managers, users and creators of BI&A systems in South Africa were interviewed about the contribution of skills and mindsets to pervasive BI&A. Thematic analysis of the conversations uncovered five main themes: Good Communication, Prioritization of BI, Different Skillsets, Adopting BI&A, and Hunger for BI&A, all with sub-themes. Many of the important skills and mindsets were shown to be common to BI&A practitioners, as well as to their users and management.
