CFO executive sponsor required paper based process to be automated Desire to have a solution that was: More cost effective – use what we own More easily accessible – minimize training needs Adopted by users Extensible Owned by IT Review of comparative business case SharePoint selected as solution
- 8. My own working definition: Provides accurate real or near-real time business information in an easily consumable manner to decision makers to enhance their ability to chart the next right action. A system which is incrementally implemented and regularly enhanced to increase speed of delivery, transparency and value to the user base. Characteristics I look for: • Scalable • Compliant • Accurate • Integrated • Governed • Multiple Consumption Methods (reports vs. charts / browser vs. client app)

- 16. • Eat your own dog food but don’t drink the Kool Aid Be an enthusiast not a fanatic • Find and nurture and executive sponsor • BI systems are as good as the data that populates them • Use incremental BI enhancements as an opportunity to engineer your underlying processes • Define your audience for the specific tool • Build a Proof of Concept to familiarize yourself and audience with the tools. • Plan for training & continuous improvement process
- 18. • Find / Nurture your executive sponsor • Pick a BI Proof of Concept and implement • Use the broad definition of the term • Get Involved! Blog, tweet and attend user groups • Build a team – they will make you successful • Invest in yourself through continued education Change Agent

- If you Bing BI you will find many definitions – this is mine, distilled from my observations as a Solution ArchitectThe priority of these characteristics will be different in every environment, but they are all worth keeping in mind so that as you incrementally enhance the system you won’t find yourself unable to provide feature sets.Most important part of definition: Decision Makers! It’s how the people interact with the data that makes a BI implementation successful or not.
- Note that the first application of a staged maturity model to IT was not by CMM/SEI, but rather Richard L. Nolan, who, in 1973 published the Stages of growth model for IT organisations. [3]The model identifies five levels of process maturity for an organization:Initial (chaotic, ad hoc, heroic) the starting point for use of a new process. Repeatable (project management, process discipline) the process is used repeatedly. Defined (institutionalized) the process is defined/confirmed as a standard business process. Managed (quantified) process management and measurement takes place. Optimising (process improvement) process management includes deliberate process optimization/improvement. Within each of these maturity levels are Key Process Areas (KPAs) which characterise that level, and for each KPA there are five definitions identified:Goals Commitment Ability Measurement Verification The KPAs are not necessarily unique to CMM, representing — as they do — the stages that organizations must go through on the way to becoming mature.Process assessment is best led by an appropriately skilled/competent lead assessor. The organisation's process maturity level is assessed, and then a specific plan is developed to get to the next level. Skipping levels is not allowed.
