Book description
Useful insights into proactively managing business success, from
the boardroom to the front lines
The Business Performance Management Revolution shows business
managers and executives that in order to improve performance of
their business, they need to commit to an enterprise-wide system
where everybody has access to the information they need to do their
jobs most effectively, or as the author terms it, an "information
democracy." And as the surest way to a democracy is a revolution,
industry expert Howard Dresner offers invaluable advice on how to
make it happen and how to ensure lasting results by rebuilding
confidence and closing the gap between stakeholder expectations and
actual performance.
Howard Dresner is a well known and respected authority in the areas
of Business Intelligence and Performance Management. Among his many
accomplishments, he served as Chief Strategy Officer for Hyperion
and was a Research Fellow at Gartner.
