More tips for getting BI right
- Analyze how executives make decisions.
- Consider what information executives need in order to facilitate quick, accurate decisions.
- Pay attention to data quality.
- Devise performance metrics that are most relevant to the business.
- Provide the context that influences performance metrics.
And remember, BI is about more than decision support. Due to improvements in the technology and the way CIOs are implementing it, BI now has the potential to transform organizations. CIOs who successfully use BI to improve business processes contribute to their organizations in more far-reaching ways than by implementing basic reporting tools.
