to core processes and activities. Managing by Facts is another way to define this: as planning, budgeting, analysis and reporting can give the measurements that empower management decisions. oBI --- enables an enterprise to convert data into actionable information and then get this information to
the right place at the right time to support decision making. oKey Business indicators (KBIs) --- The “critical few” pieces of information that allows users to see
business trends or sudden departures from a standard. o oBalanced Scorecard/ Dashboard --- A collection of KBIs grouped by “critical few” organization objectives
--- health of the business at a glance o oData Warehouse --- Database that contains information from which KBI’s are extracted --- generally
associated with an ERP (enterprise wide business system) o oData Mining --- Extracting KBI’s from the data warehouse in a usable form --- generally with reporting
tools associated with the ERP. o oData Cubes are the building blocks of a data warehouse which holds the information used in Business

WHAT DATA DO WE NEED AND HOW DO WE ACCESS IT? Management at all levels needs “ actionable data ” --volume of data available can be an issue --- need to select the “ critical few ” data points that are aligned to enterprise objectives.
Management needs access to actionable data on a timely basis, in a form that is flexible and easy to use . We used to manually “dig” out the data, but now can utilize “ data warehouses ” and reporting tools that provide automated results. 10/22/09

Current Process/ Bus Intel Issue Examples One of the benefits of BI is to spare management from surprises … reading their names in the Wall Street Journal or Sunday N&O Commercial enterprise BI examples abound especially over the past several years, however all enterprises are subject to performance “surprises” Following examples are within our State Government, just to show how simple BI measures can be effective across public as well as commercial organizations

EXAMPLES FROM THE NEWSPAPERS
Process Recommendations Are “after the fact” but BI data was available for tracking before the fact Rule of Thumb : Imagine the worst events that could happen in your organization, assess the probability of occurrence and track key indicators of occurrence 10/22/09
SUPRISE In late 2008, early 2009 it was reported that the Sate Employee Insurance program was significantly underfunded shortly after program officials had recently stated that it was in good shape. Process Recommendation: Perform risk assessments for all material fund balances BUS INTEL Recommendation: Weekly/ Monthly trend of fund balances compared to usage/ consumption including forward projections
SURPRISE In July, 2009 the N&O reported that a state Medicaid fund was “flush with $$ $” as result of an accounting error that led to overcharging the federal government by $300M --- disciplinary actions to follow. Process Recommendation: Do not allow material “accounting errors ” to occur. Checks & balances/ control on data entry variations BUS INTEL Recommendation: o Flag variations outside a set tolerance, + & SUPRISE In 2008 and continuing, it was reported that the State Parole system had lost contact with hundreds & > of parolees due to process breakdowns & understaffing. Process Recommendation: Perform risk assessment and audit processes for improvement BUS INTEL Recommendation: Metrics such as # parolees/ PO, PO turnover, PO headcount Vs plan, # contact reports by PO by month -----------------------------PROCESS WITH A PURPOSE

SOME CLOSING CONSIDERATIONS CHANGE MANAGEMENT
ØProcesses are owned and managed by people but many times, employees resist being measured . On the other hand, employees know who is not performing and are generally upset by inaction. Ø ØThe BI advisor must be prepared to add change management elements to the BI project plan.
REQUIRED FOR SUCCESS
ØPerformance management requires “tops down”
support to be successful + All levels measured + Influence process owners/ add to objectives + Visible management priority + Provide resources 2 2 /1 0 /2 0 0 9 10/22/09
