Management Consulting
Good decisions are the building blocks of great business performance. They are the key drivers of value for investments in business intelligence, performance management and advanced analytical applications. Realizing this value requires recognizing that the decisions driving the greatest value have five key characteristics, which have corresponding requirements to effectively support them:
Characteristic |
Requirements |
| Decisions affect outcomes affecting multiple functions and entities | Cross functional and entity analysis and processes must be supported |
| Decisions affect multiple aspects of a business and have unforeseen consequences | Decision support must simultaneously evaluate the impact from multiple perspectives |
| Decisions can have delayed consequences, thereby affecting multiple periods |
Decision support must be able to evaluate the impact of decisions over multiple periods |
| Decisions affect the future and therefore contain risk and uncertainty | Decision support must support rapid and comprehensive scenario analysis to understand risk |
