Strategy and Execution: Closing the GapSAP Datasphere goes beyond what was enabled by SAP DWC with source data neutrality and data ecosystem partnerships in a three-tier construct that is similar to competitor offerings with data consumption tier, or “front end” of the data story that enables business users to access, analyze, and visualize data; a platform tier, including SAP Datasphere running in SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP); and a data tier that enables data from SAP and non-SAP data from any source or location.
How Sports Data Helps Drive Business SuccessOn day 2 of SAPinsider 2024, attendees heard from Adir Shiffman, Executive Chairman of Catapult Sports, about how sports teams around the globe are using data to keep players healthy, maximize performance, drive decision making, and help win championships. What made the conversation relevant to every attendee was that Shiffman provided examples of how businesses can use the same techniques within their own organizations. Achieving this is about understanding the right data to capture, and then extracting the most valuable, actionable insights.
One of the main goals for any sports team is to avoid injuries to athletes. The two types of injuries that athletes incur are soft tissue injuries and impact injuries. Since impact injuries are almost impossible to predict, Catapult Sports focuses on predicting soft tissue injuries. However, an injury is an output metric and that is typically hard to measure, so it is important to find input metrics that are predictive of those output metrics. With the right input metrics, teams can make informed decisions about when to play and when to rest athletes.
However, there is often significant friction between having data and individuals that have significant experience or expertise. This is because those with expertise often do not want to accept the conclusions drawn from examining the data. The way to overcome this friction is for both sides to respect each other. Data alone will not provide all the answers, but it will provide deep insight and context. Those with experience and expertise cannot be dismissive of the data or they will be beaten, in a sports context, by those that know how to use it.
In many organizations there is often corporate wisdom that people generally believe is true and make decisions based on that wisdom. This happens when an organization thinks that they know which metrics are the most important in decision making. However, this usually means that the metrics are not fully understood. It is possible to overlook important information because accepted truths are used that aren’t being questioned. This is where the data itself is not providing the solution, but what is correlated with that data that provides the ultimate benefit.
