Abstract:  
BI is a strategic initiative by which organizations measure and drive the effectiveness of their competitive strategy. In achieving this goal, there is need for analysis, software, resources, technical leadership, process leadership, executive champions and much more. It is a long term process and it can be broken down to goals, which are periodically analysed for a good manage of resources and growth. An effective way of creating and managing BI is to start with a BI competency center.  The BI competency center's (BICC's) role is to champion the BI technologies and define standards, as well as the business-alignment, project prioritization, management and skills issues associated with significant BI projects. A BI competency center must have at least a BI leader dedicated to acceptance and success of the BI initiative.  There must be at least three key leaders under the BI leader: data management leader, business process leader and project management leader, each having their responsibilities and role. In order to implement a competitive strategy, the executive team establishes tactics and tasks that are materialized into several projects across the organization.
