You Can't Do That with BI - Or Can You?
Business intelligence (BI) expert Allan Russell looks at three emerging uses of BI that provide automated business intelligence to business processes themselves: feedback loops, real-time BI and business-activity monitoring.

The Who's Who of the BICC
What kinds of people does a Business Intelligence Competency Center (BICC) need? And what skills, knowledge and qualities should those people possess? Meet the members of a typical BICC when you take this virtual tour.

Optimize the Colors in Your Cube
Put your company's data to work - use it to create better strategies with operations research (OR). OR allows you to leverage business intelligence, get a glimpse of future scenarios and devise a "best" plan for business operations.

Cutting Through the Clutter
Virgin Money launched in Australia three years ago to shake up financial services and is already challenging traditional business models and giving consumers a better deal. When the company invested in a new BI and analytics solution, it reaped 100 percent ROI in four months. Find out how.

What Does It Take to Successfully Implement Performance Management?
Gary Cokins collaborated with Bob Paladino, author of the book Five Key Principles of CPM, to tackle this question in his most recent blog post. Check it out and leave a comment!
