TDWI Las Vegas - Mapping BPM and BI

At the TDWI Las Vegas show this week, one of the featured topics is "business analytics". This is the linking of your strategy to your data and back again ( ... yeah i just noticed the "frodo" reference... it was not intended... ).

I believe that this is an under appreciated area since too many organizations, and telecommunications organizations in particular, segment or compartmentalize their strategy from their data and vice versa.

I attended the education session with Nancy Williams and Bob Paladino that flows into their keynote address. They do a great job of showing how to link from one "buzzword" discipline ( ... i'm sure that kaplan and norton really appreciate me describing balanced scorecards as a "buzzword discipline"... ) with another - business intelligence.

I would recommend taking sessions from either at future TDWI Conferences like the upcoming Chicago conference in May.
