| A global evolution is underway in how business intelligence (BI) is being used by today’s leading enterprises. This “Rebirth” is evident in how organizations are looking for nimbleness, agility and speed, rather than big BI projects; how they’re adopting mobile devices and self service BI functionality, post desktops and complex clients; how they’re adopting in-memory and cloud approaches, post disk-based DBMS; how they’re building approaches that are more outward looking, considering the impact of communities and crowds, not just focusing on internal data; how they’re getting past stopped and stalled projects, and are looking to invest — nearly half of organizations anticipate that BI budgets will increase in the next 12 months. There is boundless opportunity for those who can tackle the risks and push past the obstacles. In this session, you will hear about the innovations in business intelligence, analytics and performance management that are creating new opportunities and driving transformational business benefits. And most importantly you will learn about best practices in order to exploit these latest technological advances. |

| Though every organization has its origins in entrepreneurship, such agile and decisive thinking has been forgotten. And the shallow just-intime do-the-minimum-of-thinking that did replace it formed the basis of an economy that is now shattered. In its place is a much tougher, more demanding marketplace that is emerging. Consumers will no longer tolerate ordinary products or services that are not customer friendly or deliver value and are guaranteed, sellers are seriously scrutinized and business success now must be earned and no longer be just given. It is therefore vital for senior executives driving future growth to develop those same entrepreneurial leadership skills that were instrumental in the original founding of an organization and the new rules that must be applied. Professor Turner will share the 3 must-have-strategies for the New Economy; the 2 Perceptions that Business Must Change; The No 1 Responsibility of New Business leaders and the 3 Principles of Entrepreneurial Leadership. |

| Building from the Summit theme of ReBirth, the session will focus on: “Are we putting the “intelligence” in BI, or do we risk “throwing the baby out with the bath water”? The increasing focus on agility and speed rather than traditional “big BI” projects, coupled with cloud delivery, in memory technologies and an increasing focus on analytics, sounds good for the business user. But do we risk throwing new (and different) technologies at a fundamental “unsolved” issue? Do we risk creating a new generation of buzzword-based information silos? Will cloud-based delivery models obviate the need for what BI professionals do today? How will vendors and service providers change their delivery models? These questions and many more will form the basis of the discussion. |
