Session 1b. Choosing the right BI model for your business
Chaired by: Dan Taffler, Co-operative Group
How do you start planning a BI department from scratch, or enhancing
the one that you have?
A key consideration is making sure that the BI model you’re proposing
fits with your business model, your information needs and your current
and future skill base.
This presentation will focus on:
n The advantages and disadvantages of three main BI models -
centralised, federated, bi-modal

be best for you
n How selecting a BI model helps shape a BI roadmap, organisational
structure and toolset

Panel: Mike Cox, Richard Jones, Hanzala Qureshi and Dave Williams
Working with a common data set, the panel from KPMG will run
three simultaneous live demonstrations to build a data visualisation

demonstrate the key capabilities of each tool and discuss the strengths
and weaknesses of each.
Session 3. An Introduction to the Single Customer View (SCV)
Chaired by: Dan Taffler, Co-operative group
SCV databases have become a key tool in helping understand
customers and driving commercial value from interactions with them,
but can a database really be used to develop a relationship with your
customers and does it always make sense to go to the expense of
creating one?
This presentation will look at:
n What is a SCV database & signs that your organisation would
benefit from one
n Different methods of building a SCV
