"How do I educate my business unit managers/end users/developers/executives about BI?" This is a question that people across BI maturity levels continue to ask.
As business intelligence becomes an ever-more-critical corporate program, line-of-business managers and end users are not only key stakeholders, but they also increasingly hold the purse strings. Managers and IT need better ways of planning their BI initiatives and understanding how to use corporate objectives to justify ongoing information deployment. The onslaught of enterprise-class solutions like ERP, CRM, and business performance management render data warehousing and the accompanying data management functions more important than ever.
This popular workshop—often attended by IT and business-user teams from the same company—focuses on ways to ensure that BI and DW projects remain top-of-mind in your organization. For managers considering new BI applications, it covers a series of real-life scenarios that illustrate requirements-driven development. For those already under way with their BI initiatives, it presents best-practice case studies to ensure that BI is approached not as a one-time-only activity, but as a portfolio of capabilities deployed over time. Examples of BI success stories are interwoven throughout the session to illustrate high-profile best practices.
The workshop covers some valuable lessons learned about BI development methods, data management and ownership issues, BI governance issues, the necessary "internal PR," and other staples of successful BI.
