Restoring Balance 'الكتاب المختصر في حساب الجبر والمقابلة'
Agenda Language and thought Anatomy and critique Introduction to multi-dimensional information systems MDIS Industry examples of SDI using MDIS Conclusion
Introduction Language and thought Mathematics and physics Software and SDI
Anatomy of SDI SDI used for entity-wide comparisons Governmental Private enterprise Useful for problem identification
Anatomy of SDIHow they’re built Pick a theme Select some sub themes/groupings Identify data sources Select weights (and models) Run calculations
SDI Critique Decision makers SDI producers
SDI Critique • For an SDI consumer • Too many SDI • Not directly decision-relevant • Too few valuations • Can’t mesh the quantitative with the qualitative
SDI Critique • For an SDI producer • No clear relevancy signals • Verification • Redundant efforts
SDI Critique • From an information perspective • Too siloed • Too aggregated • Too data-centric • No logical physical separation • No interpretation support for unstructured data
Future Vision Smart Information Grid for SDI SDI consumers Business managers Gov’t officials Smart SDI grid SDI producers Researchers Businesses Citizens
Semantic Interfaces Not commercially available Beyond best practice
Process Support Not commercially available Beyond best practice
MDIS Are commercially available Are best practice
Introducing MDIS MDIS Math, stat Modeling packages Definitional complexity Spreadsheets Classic databases Data complexity
Introducing MDIS Dimensions and indicators Many dimensions Multiple hierarchies per dimension Many indicators Measured any level Imputed any method any direction Quantitative –qualitative Varying precision, coverage
Events That Could Generate the Data $ $ P S variable January $ $ time product S P February $ $ S P March
The Fourth Dimension May Be Represented By a Fourth Line Segment
Hierarchies: Business Level Dimension With An Irregular Scaling Factor country states cities stores
MDIS for SDI Context rich descriptive layers Multiple inter-related hierarchies Sharing a common descriptive layer The variety of indicator frameworks HDI EF EPI The common descriptive layer
MDIS for SDI Multi-level integration National level sector accounts, Enterprise level submissions (traditional financial and enhanced TBL) Low level operational data All levels of GIS data Policy and regulatory data
MDIS for Integrated Financial and SDI Reporting Improve overall enterprise performance management systems Leverage existing investments in management information systems Faster, cheaper, more usable and more accurate than non-integrated systems Better operational efficiency Higher quality risk assessments Be prepared for carbon reporting and/or other regulations = Long term, sustainable financial value
