The Logical Organization: A Strategic Guide to Driving Corporate Performance Using Business Intelligence

A new smarter way of forging and maintaining market leadership has emerged. The Logical Organization(tm) introduces a new playing field, with new rules of engagement and fewer constraints than ever before. Every aspect of business is decision-based, yet poor business decisions are costing organisations millions of dollars every year. Overcoming this state demands alignment, relevance, efficiency, accountability, and data quality. TLO uses BI as a highly competitive element to underpin its strategic success. The Logical Organization(tm) is an insightful view of business intelligence from the executive perspective. It is a concise guide to the strategic value of BI, the technology used and best practices for deploying it. The four part format allows readers to focus on information relevant to certain roles and industries, whilst also providing a more detailed perspective to support BI investment decisions.
