For years, organizations of hundreds to thousands of employees have successfully implemented business intelligence (BI), a term that refers to the processes, software programs, technologies, and best practices used in support of decision making. One approach to implementing BI is the formation of a BI Steering Committee. A committee for this purpose will most often be successful when the executive management of the organization is engaged well before the committee is formed.
