Business Intelligence Program

Business Intelligence is not a one time project, rather it is a business principle, and a lifetime process. As the business evolves or changes, so too do the BI requirements.

A BI Program includes:

• Developing A BI Strategy
• Assessing Business Readiness
  
  • BI Strategic Assessment
  • BI Readiness Assessment
  • BI Maturity Model
• Defining BI Policy
• BI Governance
• Identifying BI Opportunties
  
  • Defining Business Requirements
  • Developing a BI Blueprint
  • Vendor Selection and Evaluating BI Alternatives
• Defining a BI Portfolio - a roadmap to incrementally deploy business intelligence in an incremental and sustainable manner
• Data Management - managing the maturity of data in step with BI applications

It is important to think of a BI program as a Performance Management program, rather than a technology driven business intelligence program. Adopting this approach is key to avoiding failure of BI Projects within the program.

A Performance Management Program is an holistic People-Process-Technology implementation that successfully links together all of the key elements for managing performance, including:

1. Balanced Scorecard
2. Activity-based Costing and Management
3. Quality Management
4. Value-Based Management

....etc

All of these components involve processes, methodologies, metrics and technologies, that collectively form a Performance Management System
