We are driven by the belief that data analytics is integral and critical to effective decision-making. By excavating deep mountains of data, we uncover trends and exceptions that possess the power to shape your business strategy. Our approach pushes beyond only providing insights; we also employ dynamically designed predictive models to inform crucial business decisions.

 

It has been hinted by Gartner that the traditional production triangle should be expanded into a four-cornered shape so that Data or Analytics can be added to People, Process and Technology. We embrace the significance of this shift and the pivotal role data plays in today's business landscape.

 

However, amidst the wealth of knowledge available on the analytical process, one critical aspect often goes unnoticed – the importance of synthesis. While numerous online resources align with various perspectives, the significance of Hegel's dialectic, particularly synthesis, tends to be neglected. Even Aristotle, though hinting at its importance, saw the term introduced by Johann Gottlieb Fichte in the 18th century.

"Sometimes too it happens as with diagrams; for there we can sometimes analyze the figure, but not construct it again: so too in refutations, though we know on what the connection of the argument depends, we still are at a loss to split the argument apart."

SYNTHESIS + ANALYSIS: HAND IN HAND

Analysis alone is insufficient without synthesis

 

While analysis dissects facts and concepts into smaller parts, synthesis reconstructs these fragmented elements into a cohesive whole. In a business context, this means distilling the outcomes of analysis into a unified business idea.

​

Synthesis and analysis are inseparable partners in our approach. Synthesis acts as a catalyst for analysis, while analysis feeds into the process of synthesis. Aristotle's words further highlight this synergy:

 

"Having set the end, they consider how and by what means it is to be attained; and if it seems to be produced by several means, they consider by which it is most easily and best produced until they come to the first cause, which in the order of discovery is last."
