Course description:

Business Intelligence (BI) is much more than technology; it is about how your company perform in the market. Companies who decide to use BI systems have the opportunity to get an unique look to their business, to face business challenges and act proactive towards clients, partners and competition.

Everyone has several different kinds of intelligence potential - numerical, social, emotional etc. Analogue, each company has it's own “business intelligence” quotient. More “business intelligent” companies can perform better and faster in any new or unexpected business situation.

Not so long ago, enabling technologies for building the BI system were available only to large companies, mostly because only large companies could cope with large investments.

Thanks to technology development, BI systems are now available both to mid-size or even small companies. Today even company with modest budget can implement appropriate Business Intelligence system or Business Intelligence Behavioural Model.

Next major step in company management is implementation of Corporate Performance Management (CPM) methodoligies and systems. CPM include BI functionality, but also include planning and budgeting and key performance indicator (KPI) analysis functionality. CPM will enable you to monitor and adequately improve all business processes in your company.

During this seminar, several examples from Croatian business will be described and you will see how BI and CPM methodologies, concepts and systems can be implemented in every day business with relatively small investment.
