Business Intelligence - always a challenge

Great article on BI success: http://usat.ly/aUdAkj



Also Gartner recent piece summarized by their executive summary:

Harnessing information to provide intelligent insight to improve business performance is a major challenge. CIOs can provide leadership by developing a cross-enterprise perspective of information and processes supported by technology.

Key Findings

Information required for effective decisions comes from many diverse sources.

Too much information can be as bad as too little information.

Intelligent business develops by linking process and information integration with business strategies.

Recommendations

Focus business intelligence (BI) efforts on delivering the right information to the right people at the right time to impact critical business decisions in key business processes.

Change the mind-set from one that simply demands more information to one in which asking the right questions drives impactful decisions.

Create project teams based not on data ownership but on information needs up and down the management chains and across functions to drive maximum decision impact.

Bad Communication - Example by a vendor

I actually received the following as shocking as it sounds after not getting any response from a delivery vendor and then after months of frustration posting a tweet about the vendor.

Your twitter message is very cute. In spite of what you might think, we have a thriving business with hundreds of satisfied customers that have dealt with us for many years.

In explanation as to why you have not gotten a phone call back, on several occasions I told XXX that XXX was not interested in servicing your equipment or placing it under a service contract. That in no way means that your equipment cannot be supported. XXX has many other dealers and support personnel that can best address your needs. I have forwarded XXX's contact information directly to XXX on several occasions.

XXX was simply a contracted, installing agent for the company you purchased the equipment from. Our only obligation was to satisfy the 90-day warranty period, which we did.

Being that this matter has been forwarded to XXX for follow-up on many occasions, I did not feel it was necessary to commit any more time or energy related to your attempts for service and support on this equipment. I also happen to know that XXX has all of XXX's representative's contact information. Perhaps your "tweets" should be directed at XXX or the company you purchased the equipment from, and not a personal attack on me. If your "tweet" was a way to get a response from me, now you have it. I would appreciate it if you would refrain from contacting me or XXX in the future. In addition, it would be sincerely appreciated if your slanderous "tweets" ceased as well. You should contact the company you purchased the equipment from, or XXX directly.

MARC - the commuter train in Maryland is out of control

MARC has no accountability to its customers / passengers. It is particularly aggregous when we when train 538 broke down and we were forced to sit for over 90 minutes in very hot temperatures in a crowded train that had temperatures of over 110 degrees with no ventilation. All the passengers who were healthy enough to avoid visits to the hospital received was an apology. Took me more than 4 hours to get home on Monday June 21, 2010.

Gartner Portals et al Conference

Attended one day of the conference and learned a few interesting things:

1. The commoditization of video has made video very powerful. Production value not so important. Instead length is (2-3 minutes). The microvideo is in!

2. Enterprise Search does not effectively create organizational knowledge.

3. Social software is an example of the mantra - the right tool for the task. people have the freshest stuff in their brain, not written up somewhere.

4. How do people trust each other? What impact does this have on social software?  Trust is about sourcing and assumption of accuracy.

5. Why use video?
     a. Empathy
     b. Credibility
     c. Enhance or Affect Mood
     d. Engaging interest
