HERUG What management can learn from musicians

Dr. Jürgen Faisst, Managing Partner, IBCS Institute
To appreciate how semantic notation can impact your business, take a step back for a moment and imagine if every composer from Mozart to Bernstein used a different notation system.

How would conductors and musicians interpret the music in a moment without standardized notation? What if engineers didn’t have a standardized notation system? Most likely they wouldn’t be able to communicate vast amounts of information clearly and quickly. 

Yet in business, there is an overabundance of ways to layout out corporate reports and dashboards. And even within a single company, you will find forecast data or averages defined and displayed differently. But with pattern recognition, you can immediately understand the context of that information. This is the essence of a standard notation system, which brings clearer, data-driven insights and faster visualization turnaround.
