Welcome Business Performance Management Newsletter Subscribers!
My article, Another Chance for Performance Management, examines the benefits of an expansionist approach for business performance management. Essentially, an expansionist approach focuses on getting the data right. I also discuss how organizations just beginning performance management can learn a great deal from other organizations that have already implemented it.
This issue also features the 2006 BPM Partners Pulse Survey, which examines the expectations and realities of moving forward with business performance management. The results of this survey will enable companies just starting their performance management initiative to learn what approaches worked (and didn't work) from those who have gone before them. For companies who have completed a BPM project, the survey results will enable them to benchmark their performance relative to peers. If you wish to see the complete results of the survey, you must take it. All survey respondents will receive the summary results and a free gift. Two lucky participants will also receive a Video iPod.
I encourage you to make the Business Intelligence Network your premier source for information regarding Business Intelligence, Performance Management, Data Warehousing and Information Quality.
