Visibility into performance to make the best decisions

Take the best strategy, put it into action with poor decisions, and the results will disappoint you. Worse, they will disappoint your customers, staff, and shareholders.

Countless studies show that the volume of business decisions we make each day keeps going up, just as the amount of time allotted for these decisions continues to go down. No other component of managing performance�neither strategy planning nor performance monitoring�has the pressure, demand, and immediacy of decision-making. Decisions are the basic unit of management.

This is why people serious about performance management are serious about making the best decisions.

Making the best decisions
The best performing organizations don't rely on great decisions to happen in Eureka bursts. Making well-informed decisions�the best decisions�is the established standard. Senior management must create an environment that leads to good decision-making by everyone. By making the Why behind performance visible, business intelligence can help you deliver this environment.

To enable better decision-making, the environment must have:

• One version of the truth. You must define data in the same way for everybody. Customer profitability must be measured and tracked the same way for sales, for marketing, for manufacturing, across all divisions and geographies.
• Easy access to the information. With so many decisions to make, managers won't sort through pages of reports or use a reporting tool that requires extensive training.
• The ability to look at information in different ways. Managers must be able to answer their own questions and explore information from different perspectives, quickly and easily. The company gains the benefit of their experience, approach, and thinking�coupled with accurate information.

Business intelligence technology encompassing reporting, analysis, and preparing data for report-ready formats addresses these factors to create a better decision-making environment.
