One of the banner programs of my organization is focused on lowering cases of teenage pregnancies in our locality. This is because in the survey which was conducted by the provincial government, my locality ranked first in the whole province with the most number of teenage pregnancy cases. I believe that the decision of our local chief executive to prioritize programs to decrease teenage pregnancies has been based on relevant information as a product of “business intelligence”.
Business Intelligence (BI) refers
to platforms, processes, applications, and technological infrastructures that collect,
store, process, evaluate and translate data into meaningful information which are
easily understood by executives and managers thus enabling them to arrive at sound
decisions. It is important to my
organization, especially in terms of allocating its resources and delivery of
basic services.
Business intelligence enables real-time
information and fast analysis of data thus assisting my organization to set
priorities based on the demands of the moment, allocate for programs, projects
and activities crucial to the development of the community and hasten the implementation
of development projects. Without
business intelligence, my organization will be investing in programs and
projects that are not responsive to the needs of our community like barking on
the wrong tree as they say. Our organization
cannot invest in nutrition without relevant information about malnutrition and
it cannot appropriate without available funds. Business intelligence helps us
visualize these needs of our locality.
Good local governance is about
delivering an excellent state of development; it is about a performance that is
informed and data-driven. Its delivery is made manageable with the
optimal use of business intelligence.
