Business Intelligence Operating System

Connected reporting across five departments through one data model and agreed definitions, with executive and operational views built for their respective audiences.

5

Departments on one model

  • Business Intelligence
  • Dashboards
  • Operations

Context

Sales, marketing, IT, finance and operations maintained separate reporting. Questions spanning departments required figures to be reconciled first.

The problem

Manual reconciliation delayed cross-department analysis and made it harder for leadership to act on a consistent view of performance.

Analysis

  1. 01Every reporting source mapped, along with each point where two definitions quietly disagreed.
  2. 02Central data models built so a metric means the same thing regardless of who opens the report.
  3. 03Onboarding and approval workflows traced end to end to locate the real operational bottlenecks.
  4. 04Figures validated against source systems before anything was allowed onto an executive screen.

Recommendation

Create one reporting layer with agreed metric definitions. Give executives a decision view and departments the operational detail, both supported by the same model.

Example view

Illustrative presentation of the approach. Client data remains confidential.
