"5 Secrets Every Business Needs
to Know About BI"
If you are in business today, you understand the term "Do
More with Less". It means:
- Less budget
- Less staff
- Less time to build new products
- Less time to make a sale
The only thing it gives you more of is stress!
Fortunately, business intelligence [BI] has come
to the rescue by enabling us to get more valuable information from
the data we once just viewed as transaction history records.
The trouble is, most see BI as just a technology - some tools that
make our reporting more accessible, more frequent, and just a whole
lot prettier to look at. When it comes to data, IT view data from
their perspective, and the business needs it from another perspective.
IT and the business just don't seem to talk the same language. They
use the same words - but the real needs of the business get lost
in translation.
BI is more about improving the way we make decisions
- decisions that are no longer based on key assumptions we have
used for years that just may no longer be valid. It's about understanding
where decisions need to be made and ensuring that the right information
is there in the right format to help the decision get made
faster and deliver a better results. My previous book,
Leading With SPI, covers this in detail, and provides you
with the business framework to help you vastly improve your strategic
execution.
Following on from Leading with SPI, we need to dig a little
deeper into how BI is best introduced to the business, how
to launch a BI Program and how to select the best solutions
for your specific business needs.
Implementing BI had rather disastrous beginnings,
but over 3-4 years, the real secrets of how to be successful with
BI started to emerge. Having studied hundreds of different BI projects,
and combining 10 years of implementing BI related programs, I have
consolidated the best of the best into the BI Strategy Guide.
The secret to getting real value from BI is having
a sound BI Strategy. This provides the answers to questions such
as:
- How to start a BI Program
- Who should own BI and make decisions regarding BI investment
- How to identify the opportunities in the business that will
return the highest ROI
- How to approach building a BI Roadmap
- What needs to be included in a BI Strategy Document
- How to keep BI Projects on track to deliver
whats needed most
- The best way for IT and the business to communicate
- What BI tools really make the most difference
to sales performance
If you are ready to tear down barriers between IT and the business,
get rid of outdated IT Project methodologies that just don't work
for BI and unleash the power of the most performance enhancing tools
a business has seen in years, then the BI Strategy Guide
is for you.

unleash the power of BI in a way that continues to multiply
