Another interesting article, this time by Cindi Howson at Intelligent Enterprise. In this Cindi speaks about Four Business Intelligence Resolutions for 2009:

1. Using BI to beat the downturn
2. Developing a BI Strategy and Standardising
3. Training Users, and
4. Investing in yourself

I found some interesting parallels between Cindi’s thinking and my own. For item one, see the “BI and the Economic Crisis” category. For item two Holistic vs Incremental approaches to BI is possibly pertinent. Finally, I echo some of Cindi’s themes from item three in Education and cultural transformation.
