Human benefits for BI itself in a slower economy

January 27, 2008 by Ted Cuzzillo

If this year’s economic slowdown lets BI-ready companies “kill the competition,” as one consultant I talked to last week expects them to, BI itself will win in not-so-obvious ways.

First, if BI really does show its stuff, projects will attract and keep good people more easily. “Every BI client have been people-short,” says Sid Adelman, “either with no headcount or unable to attract good people.”

Where are all the tech-savvy clairvoyants when you need one?Wheel of Fortune

A friend of mine used to swear by someone she called “the common sense psychic.” She’d get her on the phone and tell her all about the problem of the day.… Read the rest “BI predictions out the other end”
