Cognos

I’m speaking to Cognos today in Orlando. The company, which netted $136M on $825M in sales last year, is a leader in performance management software—e.g., “Enterprise Scorecarding,” “Business Intelligence,” “Enterprise Planning.” In addition to the slides (here) for my morning presentation, I did a “Tom Thing” … and created yet another list, culling wisdom (hunches, actually) from the last 35 or so years. Hence, “The Planning, Planning Systems, Intelligence & Measures50.” Some/most entries will be obvious, others a little obscure—I plan to write this up/flesh it out, as part of what I call “Project05,” in July-August.
