“Marketing Your BI Program”

Laura Madsen, MS

Practice Leader for Lancet Software

ABSTRACT

Many projects fail because we forget to tell people that we are doing a good job. BI/DW projects are a little tough that way. It’s difficult to show the business the tangible value of investing $10 million to organize your data.

A lot of good programs lose funding because they can’t, or haven’t consistently, communicated the value proposition of the program. Particularly in today's market, you had better have your value proposition well defined and be able to defend your program thoroughly. In this presentation we will review the benefits of having a formal marketing plan. We will discuss how the plan works and what the next steps are from taking it from a couple of pages of text to an operating marketing plan. We will also talk about what you should do when something goes wrong.

11:45 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.
