PARTICIPANT REPORT

A report for research project participants with detailed methodology, analysis, findings, and references

Abstract

In 2018, MIT CISR collected information from 511 product managers and other professionals responsible for the success of a product to learn how companies are creating analytics features and experiences, a phenomenon we call data wrapping. This report provides detailed survey results, and can be used by an organization to benchmark data wrapping practices and outcomes against those reported by the sample. Further, the report describes three key activities that distinguish top data wrapping performers: they (1) please customers with useful and engaging wraps; (2) design features and experiences to anticipate, advise, adapt and act; and (3) quantify and monitor financial returns.
