Climbing the Ladder of Business Intelligence Description
The goal of "Climbing the Ladder of Business Intelligence" is to introduce an intelligence framework that builds a foundation for success. The Ladder is really a Ladder of Business Intelligence (LOBI) that aims to create intelligent organizations in which technology systems are designed to support success.

Problems:


Good decision making is rare in the business world

In 2005, an estimated $150 billion was spent on IT systems that were either canceled or suffered cost overruns

There is a great waste of human and artificial intelligence in the majority of companies

All this means that most businesses are not operating anywhere near their capacity
However:
There are successful companies that do operate intelligently – that make good decisions, don’t waste resources and make smart use of IT.

Solution:
Our goal in this book is to introduce a framework that builds a foundation for success. We will demonstrate how to use this framework to enable skillful use of technology and better use of human intelligence. Each step up the Ladder creates a more intelligent organization, one that is able to operate smarter and faster.


Target Audiences:

Our primary audience consists of managers at all levels. What managers want to know is whether the Ladder is going to help them achieve their objectives better, faster and cheaper. This book demonstrates exactly how the Ladder can enable these goals. After finishing the book, readers should be able to ask the right questions regarding the implementation of Information Technology in their business. They should also understand the level of intelligence that their business needs to attain to be successful.
