Panorama Business Intelligence

Great summary of Gareth’s presentation.  Whatever you want to call it, process-driven BI, operational BI or BI 2.0; integrating BI with business process creates a much needed closed-loop process between making a decision and taking action.  BI is evolving. We’re moving from just accessing and utilizing the vast amount of information stored within our companies, to enabling the information worker to better focus their time and attention on the truly outstanding and exceptional.

This new focus allows decision makers at all levels to better contribute to the overall success of the business.  BI is no longer just about seeing deeper into data, it is about using BI and analysis as catalysts to initiate and event automate certain processes inside an organization and guide people to the right decision.  In this new generation of BI people maybe finding the right answers, but does traditional BI help them to ask the right questions? And more importantly are people spending time where they have the most impact?
