on implementing an effective Business Intelligence & Analytical organization
Atlanta, Georgia (29 February 2008) – On 19th and 20th March 2008 MaxMetrics will offer a seminar on Business Intelligence Competency Centers for senior leaders and managers that are looking for ways to improve the business decision making by more effectively using their business intelligence, analytical and performance management software. The “Advancing Data-Driven Business Decision Making with a Business Intelligence Competency Center (BICC)” Seminars offer participants an overview of considerations for building a business case and implementation plan for a BICC. Participants will have the opportunity to hear about other case studies and work through some details of their own case. In addition, they will receive results from the Troy University study on Decision Making Using Systems & Technology.” Most organizations have implemented one or more business intelligence, analytical, and performance management software solutions. Nevertheless, they still struggle to use that software for enterprise-wide, strategic decision making. For an organization to introduce a strategic approach to fact-based decision-making, requires a willful act of management. It requires a well synchronized change program that introduces BI & analytical competencies into the organization. This includes having people with the right competencies in the organization who know how to collect, analyze, and use information for decision making and having the technical infrastructure and processes to provide quality data with the relevant content data needed. And most of all it requires leadership and management to ensure the company makes the right investments and drives the corresponding programs and projects to a successful conclusion. All of these requirements introduce the need for new organization-wide competencies:
Organizations that make an investment in a decision-making support entity (e.g., Business Intelligence Competency Center or equivalent) reaped the benefits of more accurate, faster or more economical decision-making according to a January 2008 study conducted by Troy University. A BICC is an organizational entity that coordinates the activities and resources to ensure a fact- based approach to decision making is systematically implemented. The BICC is responsible for building the plans, priorities, infrastructure, and competencies that the organization needs to take forward-looking business decisions by using the BI, analytical, and performance management software capabilities that are available today. A BICC is the key strategic pillar of any BI change program. MaxMetrics offers seminars and consulting to promote the effective use business intelligence, analytical and performance management software for decision-making. The BICC Seminar provide a 360 degree look at the business value, considerations, and steps for creating a Business Intelligence Competency Center to advance data-driven business decision-making using business intelligence, analytical, and performance management software. The first Seminar day is on “Building the case for a Business Intelligence Competency Center.” The second Seminar day covers “Planning the implementation of a Business Intelligence Competency Center.” The seminar participants can choose to attend the first or both seminars days.
