Gave me a laugh. Concise, visual, down-to-earth. But: Business intelligence is for decision-makers, and you fail to define a decision-maker. Is it "one who makes decisions"? Then how do you become a better decision-maker? Decision-making is based on awareness. Limited awareness limits success, limited awareness makes mistakes. THE CRITICAL FACTOR is not BI, it is the observer's level of alertness, how integrated the nervous system is. Total integration = total awareness.
