How to Mine Predictive Diamonds From Your Data Mountain – 2025 Summit Session

What Are Your MVPs? Can They Help You Mine Data?

The acronym MVP can have several meanings regarding effective work measurement. Commonly, the M and V represent the phrase ‘most valuable.’ However, multiple options exist for the P reference, such as process, person, position, project, and place. How do the best at work measurement use data to assess position, place, and process performance? That’s mining predictive diamonds from your mountain of data.

Pros, cons, and ‘logical necessity’ arguments exist for each possible P. What types of work require the measurement of individual (person) performance? How do we select the best measures to monitor and analyze to predict future work success?

Today’s technology allows us to monitor various measures for these Ps as often as we want. Unfortunately, we can also end up with much more data than we have time to view, let alone further process. How do the best workplaces decide which data streams to ignore or set aside for reference versus those they must monitor regularly?

This session focuses on using work data for prediction purposes – a possible P in the MVP acronym many fail to consider. What are your most valuable predictors of future work success? How can you somehow mine key input trends and analysis for these predictors from the mountains of raw data and data analysis?

If you want to learn about multiple best practices that can help you more effectively measure, analyze, and innovate work, this session is for you. In this interactive, exercise-driven session, you learn to:

Spot and segregate ‘nice to have’ data from those ‘must have’ metrics you must monitor
Effectively identify, trend, and analyze leading indicators of work performance
Use data to quickly make systematic, fact-based short and long-term choices
Accurately predict future process, project, place, and position costs
Build data-based value assessment algorithms for processes, places, and positions
