True Business Intelligence Needed


Faster Business cycles, complex systems and new business risks have forced firms to contend with a plethora of shortcomings of their business intelligence solutions. These include : Increasingly complex and dynamic environments Over reliance on financial metrics Incomplete analysis approaches increasing fact gap in decisions

Reliance on Financial Metrics Blocks Execs View


Seventy-five percent of all balanced scorecards use financial metrics which ultimately means: Behavioral insights into KPIs remain hidden Operations interactions cannot easily be identified in aggregated data Measurements are based purely on historical perspective

Markets are Changing Structurally


The networked economy is facilitating seamless and quick interaction among business, partners, markets, and competitors. In the networked economy where value can be derived by the coupling and decoupling of business capabilities, it becomes imperative that executives can quickly and efficiently understand and act on key information and behaviours within and around their organization.

Managing Complex Environments


The networked economy has become much more complicated as both the speed of change and the amount of information available increases. To be competitive firms must end their reliance on backward looking measures and implement solutions which: Quickly spot trends Adapt to new business models Understand and anticipate behavior Become receptive to external influences

Assemble leading indicators to detect and manage business direction/speed

Develop and refine performance models

Benchmark indicators against the developed model

Be receptive to internal/external warning indicators to seize new business opportunities or tackle looming crisis.
