Business Intelligence as an Execution-Discipline
BI forms the core of Enterprise ‘Sensory System’ which in-turn gives all the information needed to run a ~fail-Safe execution-machine. However, sophistication and power of BI Tools have taken strides far ahead of Business Capacity to use it. Most of the failures of BI have to do with lack of up-stream (data pipes from last mile), BI modeling and down-stream (reading, using and actioning-on the information churned out by BI tools) business capacity to take the maximum juice out of BI investments. This session will look at real-life challenges and practical tips to build these capabilities & mind-sets.
