WORKING GROUP SESSION

"Data to Cash: Feedback Loop for Business Decisions"

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 2002

First meeting of a Working Group on Dynamic Information Integration.

Invitation-only. No fee. 4:00 - 6:30 p.m.

As a result of a series of programs last fall, the Center is hosting a Working Group this winter and spring on "Dynamic Information Integration: The Role of the Feedback Loop." A group of 12 invited participants will analyze and discuss various aspects of dynamic information integration over the next several months, including:

• The role and importance of explicit models
• How to achieve a working feedback loop
• Existing technologies and components
• Relevant standards

FIRST WORKING GROUP MEETING
The first Working Group meeting on February 14 will focus on "Data to Cash: Feedback Loop for Business Decisions." So far decision support systems do not have a well-defined feedback loop about the success or failure and the impact of a business decision. These and other questions will be discussed, over wine and light hors d'oeuvres:

• How can we integrate this feedback loop of results and impact of business decisions into the systems to optimize future decision process?
• Is this just another data source we have to integrate or do we have to go step by step back along the line knowledge to information to data?
• How can we describe the success of business decisions?
• In which way can we handle the dynamic nature of the result of a business decision (a decision can be successful in the short term but may have a negative long-term impact)?
