CREATE A BI ROADMAP

Deciding what your Business Intelligence (BI) I program will focus on over time is a challenge. A report from Gartner indicates that much of the failure of Business Intelligence programs can be attributed to the lack of vision and planning. A BI roadmap is a great way to create a strategy and to document processes. Laura Madsen, Lancet Practice Leader, is offering a live, 2-day class October 28-29 either remotely or at Lancet's Education Center in the Twin Cities. Seating is limited. Price: $395 (Group rates available).
