a powerful
procedure
for BI projects
At Inspari, we have developed a unique procedure that includes all of the steps, roles and tasks contained in a BI project or assignment. We call the procedure “Inspari Field Goal™”. It provides peace of mind throughout the entire project and makes any process into a team competition, where the desire to win, the tactics and the objectives are all ingrained into the process.
Inspari Field Goal™ gives you access to specific tools and structured processes that significantly elevate the quality of the rollout and implementation. Real-life project experience and theories from the best and brightest minds in the field provide the backbone for the procedure and can be applied to new projects where either you or Inspari are responsible for the rollout.
We use the same method to restart distressed business intelligence solutions at companies that have previously rolled out business intelligence without succeeding in getting it to take root throughout their organisation. In this way, we can transform a project that benefits just a few individuals in the company into an indispensable tool that benefits the entire organisation’s everyday work.

No matter the size – just get started!
Maybe you are thinking about BI to support a specific business function. Maybe you are thinking big? The most important thing is to get started. A data-driven company thinks in visionary terms – the vast potential of BI lies in the entire business’s need for information.
Build a strong business unit
BI can break down those data silos where departments are narrowly focused on their own issues and fail to see the forest for the trees. Thus it’s important for a cross-organisational unit to be in charge of the maintenance and fine-tuning of the BI solution in order to ensure consistency throughout the business and make sure the entire organisation is being supported, not just individual departments separately.
Define the challenges
To ensure business intelligence ends up being successful in the company, you should start out with a specific challenge faced by the business. Make sure it is clear just what your project is supporting in the organisation and ensure it creates value for the business.
Build one common data platform
There is often much debate about who has the right numbers. Businesses that are truly data-driven have built one common data platform. We recommend that you proceed stepwise toward a comprehensive solution. In this way, you’re constantly getting closer to the end goal and creating value for the business each time your insight into the data gets more refined.
Responsibility and ownership
It is important that the business takes ownership of the solution. This is done by getting the business involved while it’s still early in the process and making how the solution develops over time a priority. The IT department may well be responsible for the solution’s operation, but it’s the business that has to take ownership of the overall solution.
Devote the right mix of skills to the project
Many businesses use outside resources when they get started with BI, but real data-driven companies put an emphasis on acquiring these skills internally. Insist on engaging your own specialists and users in the process, so you can ensure that the knowledge injected into the company from outside resources stays in the company.
