Chapter 1: Let’s Start at the Very Beginning > Sharing Business Intelligence
Sharing Business Intelligence
Because you are reading this book, you are probably the keeper of some type of information that is important to your organization. You may have information on sales, finance, production, delivery, or one of a hundred other areas. All this information makes up the business intelligence necessary to keep today’s corporate, academic, nonprofit, and governmental entities humming along.
The Need to Share
In addition to maintaining this information, you have a need to share this information with others. This need to share may have come from an important lesson you learned in kindergarten (“The world would be a much happier place if we all learned to share”) or, more likely, this need to share your information was probably suggested to you by a manager or executive somewhere higher up the food chain. See if any of these situations sound familiar.
