How on Earth did this happen?
The question is not infrequent, but more to the point, it's unnecessary. It arises because in many cases people haven't thought things through beforehand. Yes, sometimes people can be unlucky, but far from every time that things go awry; bad luck is never so consistent – by definition. Thinking things through properly beforehand might seem a fairly obvious requirement for making a good decision, but startlingly often, even critical decisions are made without any in depth analysis. Well, there may have been some background data lying around somewhere, but not much is done with it. Though it's easy to blame authoritarian leadership or the like, poor decision making is far more usually due to not really knowing what to do with the available information, whether it's sufficient and what else needs to be known There's nothing weird or idiotic about today's decision makers, but there often is about the tools and methods available to them. It would be more accurate to say that many decision makers have been lead astray regarding their remit and capacity, but fortunately with structured decision processes they can be guided back on track far more easily than had they been as dim- witted as some of their decisions would indicate. Businesses introduce various BI solutions both timely and untimely, but what most of them don't have is any kind of methodology by which to deal with decisions. With no processes, knowledge, techniques or tools, they soon come to grief. Happily this is fairly easy to remedy. Decision processes and decision methods can be greatly improved. In this book we simply explain how to go about it.

Mängder av felaktiga beslut beror på att man inte har funderat tillräckligt. Det här kan förefalla ganska självklart. Men förbluffande ofta så fattas även mycket avgörande beslut utan särskilt stora föregående analyser. Javisst. Det finns ofta lite bakgrundsdata någonstans som ligger och skvalpar. Men det görs inte mycket med informationen. Eller så gör man något men oklart vad. Ofta beror det på att man inte riktigt vet vad man ska göra med information som man har. Eller inte kan bedöma om den är tillräcklig. Vi tror inte att beslutsfattare generellt är korkade eller konstiga. Däremot är de metoder och verktyg de har tillgång till det. Man kan nog säga att många beslutsfattare är vilseledda av dagens BI-system vilket är nog så illa. Men relativt enkelt reparerbart, lyckligtvis. Verksamheter introducerar olika BI-lösningar i tid och otid, men de flesta har inte någon process alls för att hantera beslut. Då går det åt skogen. Det saknas metoder, kunskap och tekniker. Beslutsprocesser och beslutsmetoder kan förbättras kraftigt. I den här boken så talar vi helt enkelt om hur man bör göra.
