#25 - Closing the Loop in Analytics

Dashboards are everywhere. Clean, interactive, and full of answers. They show us trends, highlight risks, and point to opportunities. But there is a quiet assumption behind most analytics systems, that once the insight is delivered, the job is done. It rarely is.

Because insight without action is just observation. And action without context often leads to poor decisions. The real challenge is not only understanding the data, but creating a loop where people can contribute back to it, add meaning, capture decisions, and keep the system alive.

Presented by Qlik Partner Ambassador and Qlik MVP Igor Alcantara, and Qlik Partner Ambassador and Qlik Education Ambassador Angelika Klidas, this episode features Mária Oreská, Chief Product Officer at Inphinity and Qlik Partner Ambassador. From her background in applied mathematics to her experience as a Qlik developer and product leader, we explore the missing layer of analytics, the space where insight becomes action. We discuss writeback, workflows, and process intelligence, the role of the Qlik ecosystem, the Inphinity Champions program, and what to expect from Qlik Connect 2026. Because in the end, analytics is not a destination. It is a loop.
