whitepaper Crime In Focus : A paper examining pitfalls in public crime mapping2009-08-18 Pitney Bowes
  In July 2008, UK Home Secretary Jacqui Smith pledged that interactive maps, which allow every neighbourhood in England and Wales to access local crime information, were to be put in place by every police force in the land by the end of the year. This was one of a number of pledges made in a green paper aimed to improve policing and its appreciation by the public, business, the media and other public service agencies1. The motivation for publishing crime maps was laudable: to keep the public better informed about crime in their immediate environs, and to provide a channel for disseminating the actual successes being achieved by law enforcement initiatives. Sharing, analysis and visualisation of crime data and patterns is equally important between stakeholders in co-operative groups fighting crime, such as Crime and Disorder Reduction Partnerships.

whitepaper Zen and the Art of the Balanced Scorecard2009-07-01 Oracle
  Today the use of balanced scorecards for performance management has become a hallmark of a well-run company. A recent study by Cranfield University showed that more than 50 percent of large enterprises use some type of a balanced scorecard. The concept is simple. In order for your business to succeed, you need a way to consider the factors that influence the organization's overall performance.

But simplicity can be elusive. The balanced scorecard is a management concept that has been so thoroughly boiled down to its essence that it no longer provides much application guidance. As a result, many of the best practices of the balanced scorecard are widely misunderstood. As much an art as a science, the balanced scorecard is a living process that must be adaptive to constantly changing external forces and internal course corrections. You learn as you go. This paper contains a few guiding principles that will help you along the way.

whitepaper The Future of Revenue Management2009-02-27 SAS Institute
  In many firms, Revenue Management (RM), pricing, customer relationship management, and distribution channel management are still a chain of separate departments with separate rulers, and in many cases separate goals measured on separate databases, analytical processes, and skill sets. Centralizing and integrating these functions to create a Profit Optimization department, using RM and pricing theories and tools, will allow firms to move away from traditional revenue management and towards Total Demand Profit Optimization. Under this umbrella, rather than simply managing existing demand, firms can create and direct demand by incorporating the demand generating capability and cost structure of customers and channels into the revenue management decision.
