Topic |
• Mapping Information on Demand and Supply to Drive Performance and Manage Risk
- Business performance is driven by effective decision making and the quality of information that supports those decisions. But, while decision makers can generally identify what information they require to optimally drive the performance of their business unit or area of responsibility, there is always a need to prioritize requirements against budget and the ability of the information systems group to deliver against those requirements. In many organizations, this is often a complex, suboptimal undertaking.
- This presentation will review how a decision prioritization model, derived from a multi-dimensional view and analysis of an organization’s information supply chain, is key to driving business performance and effective risk management practices. The steps to model information demand and supply in an organization will be described and the resultant decision support system to prioritize an organization’s business intelligence initiatives will be illustrated and explained.
