Many organizations have multiple, uncoordinated and tactical business intelligence (BI) implementations that have led to “silos” of technology, skills and processes.

A new set of skills, organizational competencies, and funding and sponsorship models is needed to overcome silos and the harm they have on realizing the business value and impact of BI, including increased total cost of ownership.

Discussion Topics:

• What are the core skills and competencies needed to support a BI Competency Center?
• What are the organizational and funding models for a BI Competency Center?
• What are the best practices for using BI technologies skillfully to gain the insight needed to make better decisions
