What is BI/Performance Management?

●

●

●

●

Ask ten people to explain you what BI exactly is, and there is a big chance they will
tell you ten different stories depending on there background
Gartner says: Leverage technology and best practices to deliver management
insight from enterprise applications and data. Combine business intelligence tools
and applications with effective structure, quality improvement and information
governance and learn to maximize payback while minimizing risk.
Gartner describes Business Intelligence (BI) also as the usage of information to
enable organizations to best decide, measure, manage and optimize performance to
achieve efficiency and financial benefit. In short, BI aims to support better business
decision-making by providing operational insight.
Gartner defines Performance Management as the combination of management
methodologies, metrics and information technology that enables users to define,
monitor and optimize results and outcomes to achieve personal or departmental
objectives while enabling alignment with strategic objectives across multiple
organizational levels. Successful performance management is achieved when used,
accepted and applied at all levels in an organization. Alignment with strategic
objectives is of ultimate importance

The six perspectives of BI/Performance Management

●
●
●

●
●
●

Strategy: What is the strategy of the company (strategy, mission, vision)
Processes: What processes and how are the processes performed
Organization: Who performs the processes
Technology: What technology or application supports the process
Data: What information do the processes require
Location: Where are the processes performed

=> leads to Business results
Key attention points for BI/Performance Management

●

●
●
●

●

●

Focus on the intention of BI: create insights to take the best decisions and perform
the best actions to accomplish the ambition of your organization
BI is not a one time implementation but a structural additive to your organization
Foresee organization wide unambiguous expectations and goals about BI
Proactive management of inevitable changes in goals and resources (my
philosophy is to train the people, not to dismiss)
BI interfaces every aspect of an organization, the weakest chain determines the
success
The effective success of BI will be determined by the organization itself, on basis of
the contribution to the organizational performance
BLOCK 2: VALUE CREATION
IN 5 DIMENSIONS
Controller function
Value creation in 5 dimensions

●
●

1e dimension: cash flow (objective, result)
2e dimension: profit & loss (subjective, result)
3e dimension: value proposition (subjective, cause)
4e dimension: innovation power
5e dimension: source (why of the organization)
Cause and Effect on Value
BLOCK 3: Planning & control VS. Organizational culture
Finace in coherence

Celebrate short term successes
Keep the tempo high
Make changes permanent
Henry Mintzberg

●
●

●
●

●

Leadership gives sense to employees
Strategy comes from below because people solve day by
day operational problems and discover the effective
direction
Involved employees oppose against thoughtless big plans
Effective leaders are not in the top but simply move in the
network
Learn to manage is learn to think
William Schiemann: 7 biggest myths about measure

●

●
●
●
●
●
●

Measure hard results and soft goals will be reached
automatically
Measuring is like counting beens
Measuring is all about the past, history
Measuring creates 'the real'
Measuring blocks creativity
Measuring is anti-people
The more you measure the better
Robert Kaplan: What you don't measure, you can't manage

●
●
●
●
●

●
●

First strategy
Then critical success factors
After this KPI's, divided over four perspectives
The balanced scorecard is never finished
Evaluate constantly if KPI's are reliable indicators of the road to
success
The CEO is owner of the problems
The simpler, the better the strategic card
Vineer Nayar: Employees First, Customers Second

●
●
●
●

Internal transparency
Employee engagement
Technology needs intelligence more than money to invest
Front-line employees have to become the key drivers of
change
Effective planning and control

●
●

●
●
●

Stimulate thinking based on value creation
P&L is less important, more important are the KPI's that
accomplish the strategy
Make control available at every level in the organization
More interest in a business model compared to an agenda
Use financial and non financial KPI's that create value for the
company
