Sure - to be brief, the data must be actionable and understandable to be of value. A great example of value adding data gathering and analysis process is the work of Eniram - they take a ship, analyze it, and optimize it's usage to save millions in large shipping operations fuel costs globally.

I'm sure the analogous thing can be done to all sorts of organizations and processes. It's not about gathering obscure metrics, running them through excel and creating powerpoints with no actionable items.
