3. • A district collector tracks over 60 schemes
in her district every week, using 60 different
websites on 60 differentportals.
• A 10th-pass Anganwadi Sevika
maintains 11 registers to log data and
prepares a 10-page report... every month.
• In rural India, 52% of people said they
used the internet for entertainment, while
only 0.4% use it for booking train tickets.
The Problem
Most often than not, government
administrators or leaders in foundations are
either crunched for time or don't have the
support they need to use data.
They end up digging through physical files,
printing tons of reports, and looking at many
data points in silos, which keeps them away
from the right insights they need.

8. What is data intelligence?
How does it impact decision-making?
Data intelligence is the process of transforming all available data — collected
from the ground up, sourced from external data sets, and extracted from
elaborate internal systems — into intelligent insights that make the best
decision crystal clear.
Read more about data intelligence here.

9. 1. Gather Internal Data: First, you use the data
you already have – your own preferences and
past experiences about different phones.
2. Add External Data: Next you search for
external data on the internet – prices of other
phones in the market, reviews, features.
3. Find Data to Fill Gaps: You might go to a
store and check out how a certain phone looks,
or talk to friends who have the phones you’re
thinking of buying.
4. Process the Data : Since you have lots of data,
it's important to bring it all together. You sort
through the data, discard what’s irrelevant, and
weigh the pros and cons.
5. Make a Decision: Finally, you use all the data
to come to a final decision — the phone you
want to buy.
Data intelligence mimics how your brain naturally makes a decision.
Imagine you want to buy a mobile phone.
How would you use data to figure out what phone to buy?
