While there is no one definition of business intelligence, there appears to be general agreement on what it does: it converts operational data to knowledge, providing meaningful information that facilitates effective decisions aligned with firm strategy. Offering unlimited analytical potential, BI is most successful when implemented with the support of senior management as part of a change initiative, often in the areas of enterprise performance management that employs elements of the balanced scorecard. Firms employing BI can effectively communicate strategy on a real-time basis firm wide through a combination of dashboards, event-driven reporting and report alerts reflecting specifically selected Key Performance Indices (KPI) aligned with firm or business unit strategy.
