Why would you need a business intelligence strategy? Every organisation has plenty of data. Knowing what to do with the data to help the organisation become more reactive and competitive is the essence of business intelligence.
No business is completely “bad” at business intelligence. There’ll be areas where information provision is timely, accurate and flexible. There’ll equally be other areas that are black holes of knowledge – where everyone knows that better information would probably help improve performance and customer service, for example.
A strategy for delivering business intelligence provides you with a long-term plan for improving information accessibility across the organisation. Where can you maximise your return in terms of sustainable business benefit? Where can you achieve quick wins to engage the business and set expectations? How can you even identify those areas where investment in business intelligence would not provide a business return?
