20. Encountering Roadblocks “… interestingly, the users whom we interviewed for this report and who responded to our survey focused largely on the “soft” issues involved in making BI pervasive: sponsorship, marketing, training, support, monitoring, and prototyping . Users also mentioned the importance of good design, architecture, and project management and scoping skills.” Pervasive Business Intelligence, TDWI (The Data Warehousing Institute) Research, 3rd Quarter, 2008

21. BUT HOW to Overcome??? Implementing Standards for People, Process and Technology with the help of a Business Intelligence (BICC) or Performance Management Competency Center (PMCC)

22. Establish an Information Agenda: Bringing analytics to life in the context of an Information Agenda ensures optimized investments and faster time to value Multiple highly justified but non aligned projects An information agenda builds the alignment between Business and IT that is critical to fulfilling the potential of reusable, interoperable and extensible IT components and master data.
