Business Intelligence Workshop

[Description]  [Modules]  [Faculty]  [Testimonials]

Maximising the benefits

Many organisations are awash with information – but starving for intelligence. However, some organisations have successfully developed certain analytical competencies and reap the benefits of this competitive edge.

In response to an ever-increasing amount of data to analyse, many organisations have turned to Business Intelligence (BI) applications, hoping to improve organisational decision-making. In recent surveys of ICT executives, BI topped the list of the most important application and technology developments. But despite all the popularity, the failure rate for BI initiatives is still high. Some of the reasons behind these failures are that organisations adopt BI without having a clear strategic roadmap or without understanding the necessity of having a support unit for BI within the organisation.

Creating value with BI

This workshop is geared towards business professionals who have a genuine interest in creating value with BI in their organisations. The first day of the workshop starts with an introduction to BI and BI trends. You focus on the opportunities BI can bring into organisations to move the BI maturity one or more levels up. The second day of the workshop focuses on governance aspects of BI. Through a case study you learn to develop a BI roadmap that sets the route for BI. In the third day, you learn how to support BI initiatives and take them forward with the help of a support organisation (e.g. Business Intelligence Competence Center).
