There are various forms and flavors given to Business Intelligence Management. Few terminologies are -Business Intelligence Competency Center and Business Intelligence Program. In ExecutionMiH.com, we focus on individual components, so to enable the readers to pick and choose the pieces relevant to their context. Therefore, you will not find sections linked to any specific organizational model and complex diagrams. You may be able to create a BICC OR BI program by picking-up pieces of our content.
Each of the below-said activities will be typically a combination of Enterprise-level and functional-level BI management. Depending upon the maturity and context of an organization, one can decide on the components and level (creating, co-creating, pre-facto review & sign-off, post-facto review and sign-off...), which you would like to centralize vs. distribute the responsibilities. Our skew is towards heavy centralization (due to enterprise nature of BI).
