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.

  • How to start a BI Program
  • Who should own BI and make decisions regarding BI investment
