		<description><![CDATA[Do you struggle to get the numbers you need to manage your business? Many others do too!

Dashboard reports are of great value when they always reflect the reality of the here and now. 

And when they cone to life with always current information and an ability to rotate perspectives and drill to detail in moments it gives a buzz that, for some, is better than sex.

This week in our firm, our professional team in Asia at Sherwood Group Consulting rolled out the preliminary design and a working prototype of a BI tool for a large sales force based organization.

Impressive, beyond our expectation, excellent and just what we need were some of the comments along with it can do this that and the next thing on analysis.

It made me feel good to hear that, but the truth is all we did was assemble their data and present it in an homogenized way in a BI web tool.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Poor decisions are most often caused by lack of understanding, not lack of data but another challenge is unquestioned acceptance of business processes being measured.  At times many appear very logical, but are often obscured by the very data itself.


I notice when managers look at unacceptable results, they often do one of two things. Me too!! They either pick up the phone to call someone to ask them for more information on why. Or they  pick up the mouse to dig deeper for the reason.  Once the answer comes corrective decisions are made. This tram line management style is a norm the bias of most Performance Management systems which works well to make sure the process,  the "tram", stays on the tracks.  But many fail to follow the learning rule that to improve you need to look elsewhere.]]></description>

There are many variations of this. Possibly the most nauseous, but still very useful is what we hear still being trooped out by IT people and software vendors is their aim to give us "The same version of the truth".

		<description><![CDATA[Stephen Few and Nigel Pendse, are examples of business experts, each with quite distinctly different styles and modes of working. Both call it as they see it without fear or favor .

They can do so because they do the ground work and run their business in a way they can claim that right.

Pendse, is widely known and respected by all in the performance management business community that he serves on all continents, 

Stephen Few, is a US based consulting specialist and author. His style is no nonsense to the point and he calls a spade a spade. Something he wrote recently under a clever headline got my attention.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Climate change is an accepted fact, as are measured temperature increases over the last 50 years that are causing it. And C02 emission is well understood to be causing the planet overheating, with potential to destroy life as we know it. Energy depletion is a issue too, so cutting C02 by reducing energy is clearly a good thing if only for that reason.

As facts the understanding seems irrefutable. But is it possible there are flaws in the information intelligence that drives them?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Today I was delighted to see Anthony Watt's post on receiving Best Science Blog in the 2008 Weblog awards for his blog at  Wattsupwiththat.com. Aside from the great information on science, weather, climate change and related technology,  I am constantly inspired by the fact based rigor of his succinct analytical writings and many of the contributing discussion debaters.
