Notes de l'éditeur
- Hello. Welcome to this month’s installment of the Senturus education series in which we demystify business intelligence. In today’s session we will discuss the keys to success in business intelligence.
- After a quick introduction of the team, we’ll describe what success in business intelligence looks like. We’ll then describe the primary keys to success based on we have learned across more than 1,000 projects during the past 12 years. Next, we’ll share our perspectives on the expectations business intelligence technology vendors are setting relative to success in BI. We’ll wrap with a Q&A session that will address the questions not already covered interactively during the webinar.
- from IBM study of 2,000 companiesValue Integrators excel in both efficiency and business insight, which is correlated to financial outperformance.Revenue Growth: N = 580; EBITDA: N = 531; ROIC: N = 501;
- Organizations are already spending massive amounts on Business Intelligence … and we are not talking about formal BI tools and Data Mart projects***** DO 2 POLL NOW – “How would you define your success?” & “Has BI improved your companies performance?”
- At this point I’m going to pass the presentation over to John Peterson. He’ll describe the target – the description of what success in business intelligence looks like. John, the floor is yours.
- Find your Richard BransonExecutive Sponsorship is criticalDon’t build what they ask for, build what they need Bi must be Business Requirements driven & RelevantDon’t Boil the OceanMake projects as small as possible Don’t set out to build a data warehouseBecome a disciple of Vilfredo ParetoReligious devotion to the 80/20 ruleStart off on the Right FoundationThe right architecture is criticalWorry about the DataData QualityShoot early and oftenRapid iterations while laying a long term foundationRally a teamOrganize for SuccessRemember everything is relativeIntegrate contextGet the ball all the way across the goal lineFocus on User Adoption
- *** DO 2 POLLS FIRSTTDWI and Kimball surveys routinely show that this is THE most important factor
- Requirements-driven BI Relevance is keyNEXT SLIDE: Focus on leading indicators, not just lagging ones (see next slides)
- Requirements-driven BI EXAMPLE: Buongiorno report specs…Relevance is key
- No boiling of ocean– Layout a roadmap & Prioritize– Start as small as possible (phased)– But create a 100% functioning system… and a Wow! FactorFocus on Business Process Dimensional Models (next slide)EXAMPLE: Old DW problem: 3 year, $3million failures
- Vilfredo ParetoEXAMPLE: Large Finance/GL Mart excluded Quantity and Units in first phase to hit dates needed to support annual planning cycleEXAMPLE: Start with Gross Margin, move to Net Profit (avoid allocation quagmire)
- Use pseudo-Agile development And LOTS of PrototypingSeries of short projects -- but always within a larger campaign, vision and architectureDeliver string of high ROI projects EXAMPLE: Large financial services company: Early prototyping flushed out the true hierarchies and rollups
- Organize data into business process dimensional modelsFacts and conforming dimensionsArrange the data the way business people look at itArchitecture matters – can’t rely on a veneer in the metadataAbstracted meta-data layerAggregations and OLAP (important for self-services and performance)Build upon conforming dimensional models (Kimball)Laying the right foundation is criticalMaintain historical contextConvert codes into plain English Integrated data across the enterprise

- Business-IT partnershipCross-functional involvementLeadership is key-----------------------Strong project managementVisionary leadershipExecutive sponsorship ?? Organizing for success BI steering committee BICCCross-functional teamsBusiness and ITHave wide scope to your BIHave wide funding (cross department, cross division)Business IT PartnershipCompile a team that knows business and techStrong leaders on the BI teamTrainingInnovation
- EXAMPLE: AFC cross-functional team prioritized the 3-5 year roadmap
- Data qualityAnd lack of dimensionality in source systemsFix issues as far “upstream” as possible (in ERP, not in DW or Reports)Only get one chance to make a good first impressionHuge amount of reworkBI exposes lack of data qualityData quality chicken and egg – Don’t let dirty data stopEXAMPLE: Kelly-Moore (use Large Paint Manufacturer) POS data cleanup and vendor totals issue
- Avoid Silos
- Actuals vs. PlanVs. Last YearVs. Competition
- TrendingRatio analysis
- In fact, every new addition to your BI System or data warehouse adds exponential value due to relative analysisEXAMPLE: Large Retailer Sales Data + Inventory Data = Days On Hand analysis
- *** DO POLL HEREEXAMPLE: Semiconductor Manufacturer (Zoran) not doing formal training after year-long $250K project
- System success starts with User Requirements and ends with solid training and supportPromote BI capabilities and awarenessFocus on benefits, not tech featuresTrainingFacilitate changeProvide a bridge between the old and the newPredominance of gut-feel decision-makingProvide relevance (see chapter “9”)Foster fact-based decision-making
- Remember to sing it from the rafters… BI PR is critical
- Don’t let it be a well-kept secret
- Do it right the first time, and don’t keep heading down the wrong path…
