February’s posts discussed the power of having the right data, and that dashboards have been around for a long, long time, but if they have poor data it’s like putting lipstick on a pig, and that it would be a crime not to include analytics in applications — but also that we’re all really bad at making decisions.

March’s posts were about BI in Bahrain, Brussels, and on the Bosphorus, making tough decisions, BI incompetency centers, scandalous bankers making more money having a shower than the rest of us make in a year, the wonderful Innovation Center and Social Network Analyzer, and more problems with bad data.

April’s posts covered more news on the Social Network Analyzer, the importance of taking account risk in business intelligence, and how BusinessObjects users think they know everything.
