Our approach to the business intelligence problems companies face today has been to drive a KPI-based facilitation, because only a relentless focus on such metrics allows enterprises to realize true ROI from their enterprise data. Measurements are critical because
- If we can’t accurately measure something, we really don’t know much about it
- If we don’t know much about it, we can’t control it
- If we can’t control it, we are at the mercy of chance
