whitepaper Experiences in Building and Using Decision-Support Systems in Postgraduate University Courses2007-04-05 Victoria University

These subjects are not about Decision Support Systems, but are Information Systems (IS) subjects that introduce, amongst other things, concepts of decision support and DSS. It experience the complexity, an inability to examine the logic behind decisions that have been recommended, the proprietary nature and the cost of commercial DSS make their use in teaching less than ideal.

whitepaper The Optimal Reference Guide: Actions Speak Louder Than Data2007-03-26
  This paper defines a framework for designing and producing action reports. An action report is one that informs the user of an opportunity or a requirement and suggests what action should be taken. This action report framework does not ignore the reality that many of the reporting requirements are to comply with legal or funding mandates or to simply publish information in a profile. The D3M Action Report Framework was developed to provide educators with a comprehensive process for getting reports they really can use. The process turns out to be rather complex with many moving parts. Not only do compelling reports need to be designed, they also need to be matched to the required data to fill them.

whitepaper Beware of Performance Management Pitfalls: Smart companies avoid basic mistakes in implementation2007-02-05 Cognos
  Performance management is the strategy and sets of methodologies and processes that an organization uses to direct its employees, partners, suppliers and customers to achieve a common set of goals and objectives. Companies manage performance through various mechanisms, including planning, budgeting, scorecarding, querying and reporting results and variances. Each of these activities involves making data collected by transaction systems available in a context and format that transforms the data into actionable business information.

Ventana Research believes all performance management initiatives must address an interrelated set of people, process, information and technology issues. This paper focuses on the latter two, but people and process are critically important in shaping decisions about what information is needed and the technology for managing it.
