Abstract
While many organizations have made substantial investments in Business Intelligence, many struggle with increasing the maturity of their BI programs and delivering tangible business value. It can be argued that at the root of this problem is the approach that organizations are currently using in managing and governing their BI Programs and in scoping, designing, and developing BI applications. Join us to learn the highlights of the BI Pathway approach, regularly featured at TDWI conferences and widely recognized as one of the leading industry approaches to BI. Based on the highly rated book, The Profit Impact of Business Intelligence, BI Pathway is designed to overcome the common business, organizational, and technical risks that often get in the way developing mature BI capabilities. Whether you are just getting started or are struggling to mature your existing BI program, the BI Pathway will provide you with the information you need to get on the road to BI success. This talk will include topics of interest to all levels of BI stakeholders, ranging from executives who are making significant investments in BI to those in charge of managing and delivering BI capabilities.
Topics:
· Key Challenges: From Legacy Reporting to High-Impact BI
· The BI Pathway Maturity Model: Where Are You/Where Do You Want to Go
· An Overview of BI Pathway - Phases and Activities
· How to Develop A High-Impact BI Portfolio and Roadmap
· BI Readiness - What is Your Organization Ready For?
· The Keys To Designing and Developing High-Quality BI Applications
· Aligning BI and Business Processes to Achieve Business Results |
