This was why cogniti™was formed…Frustrations with BI and xPM

• It doesn’t integrate Strategy/Finance/Operations across the Corporation AND ALSO From the Boardroom to the Shopfloor

• It tends to measure Bubbles of information

• Geography, Division, Department, Product Line etc

• It is a snapshot

• It’s too late to act when it tells you of a problem metric

• It doesn’t identify and advise Cause, Consequence and Cure

• It doesn’t tell you where to prioritise time according to Value

• Hypercubes/Data Warehouses/Universes have

• Challenges for Business Users to manipulate

• Huge Overhead in Data Mgt and Infrastructure

• A tendancy to show data rather than priorities

The Bottom Line….

•We wanted to ACCURATELY see and predict our revenue, cost, cash, and EPS positions before the dust settled

•We wanted to run our business effectively by looking FORWARD to proactively manage challenges

•We wanted to know if our strategies were working, were being followed, or needed to change BEFORE it was

too late.

•The reality was BI failed us everytime.

“Nobody would play a team sport wearing blinkers and earplugs, only checking if the team

had the right gameplan by looking at the scoreboard an hour after Fulltime!!”
