Re: Key
@DHagar:
You are so true.
Business executive team's engagement starting from an early stage through out the life cycle has become a norm now. Initially IT teams may get frustrated a bit as they have to invest time to bring business folks up to speed, but that would surely turn out as well invested time towards the end.
Also these days companies are forming user experience(UX) teams in many organizations. This team is focussed in engaging all levels of business users, work with them very closely and get their expectations, needs etc to the forefront. And they come back work with project team that comprises of analysts, developers, managers etc. That way we can ensure that we are moving along tightly integraed with business expectations and hence there is no way to get diluted of what business is expecting.

Re: Not an easy task
It reminds me of the advice I've read about becoming a good writer - that you have to be willing to not get too attached to your words and be willing to let go of or change parts that might be bogging your work down.

Re: Updating Processes
Good point!
I used to do risk assessment & compliance work, which often meant having to help companies document their existing processes & systems.
It amazed me how many top performing companies don't even a grasp of all steps entailed in their current operations.
There were always a bunch of "low hanging fruit" improvement opportunities that would become apparent just from the process of listing their current business flow.

Re: Updating Processes
@dhagar Getting the business users involved in the process is definitely a vital part of having them embrace change.
I think it's understandable to feel resistance to someone telling you to change how you're doing something if you don't feel like they have any investment/won't be the ones impacted by the changes they suggest.

Re: Key
@ms.akkineni, what a great model!
I can envision a future where "Business Intelligence" may become a metric that distinguishes one company from another as to how well they build, use, share, and provide leading decision makers with data.

Re: Updating Processes
@faryl, great insight. Absolutely, and if they begin to use and rely on data for their operations you will gain their continued support and commitments to sustainable use and building of further transformations.
I believe this is the new frontier in businesses, where technology/data is viewed as not just a purchase order, but a vital link "augmenting" the effective operations and performance management of a company.

Re: Updating Processes
@Dhagar You make a good point. Hopefully more people will start to embrace it more as technology makes it easier to visualize data in ways that are more meaningful than just numbers on a spreadsheet.

Re: Change
I agree. As long as employers are providing ways for employees to gain any new skills necessary for the way their job may be changing, employees need to be willing to adapt & grow along with the company.

Re: Change
One does have to wonder sometimes if vendors are really offering up something that's going to be useful in twenty years. Otherwise, customers will get left with something really expensive while at the same time relatively useless.
Re: Key
@DHagar: Thank You.
You made a very good point about 'Business Intelligence' becoming a key metrics for the company. I definitely see that coming. That could be another reason for companies to push themselves into adapting this approach.
