Welcome to the latest edition of the Business Intelligence Network UK newsletter!
In this issue, my article looks at why the various types of performance management approaches should come together to give companies the ability to manage business performance at both strategic and operational levels from a common toolset.
Additionally, our Retail Channel lead John Hobson challenges some assumptions that seem to be common in the analysis of retail performance and talks about how today's business intelligence tools can help you to find new ways to view your data.
We also have a special interview in this issue. Be sure to read Steve Miller's compelling interview with Phil Rosenzweig, author of The Halo Effect.
I encourage you to use the Business Intelligence Network as your premier source for business intelligence, performance management, information quality and data warehousing information. Please invite your peers to visit the site frequently and subscribe to our newsletter.
