BI & The Art of Golf

[ad_1]

Speaking of club-class golfers one can not help but not aware that the correlation between the price of the equipment and the golfing capabilities of its owner is largely thin. Speaking of the corporate world (and specifically SMBs) one can see a similar situation with regards to the investment in BI solutions and the RoI, or lack of it.

No doubt that the more expensive golf clubs incorporate advanced material, cutting-edge designs, and features that are provided to offer higher levels of accuracy and performance (distance, loft, spin, etc). However, not many of these expensive golf clubs are designed with ease-of-use in mind. In other words, they are not dummy-proof. It would take nothing less than a Greg Norman or a Tiger Woods to be able to leverage what these clubs have to offer. But most of us are not Tiger Woods. Like my friend pointed out, we're more like tigers-in-the-woods.

My point is: just because you have decided to invest in a best-of-breed, full BI stack vendor solution does not mean you'll get your desired results. In fact, you could fall woefully short of your expectations. For one it could be that you did not select the right BI solution; or more importantly, your organization may not be ready to use such a comprehensive (and expensive) offering.

Callaway Golf, a leading golfing equipment manufacturer, has teamed up with Autodesk to design its Hyper ERC driver using AliasStudio. It's all about performance engineering; similar to designing automobiles I would imagine. Now it is not uncommon to see a golfer wearing an expensive straw hat saunter off to the tee, take a few dry (practice) swings with his Hyper ERC, address the ball, take a swing and shoot right out of the fairway into the woods . He would then go back for his mulligan (second shot allowed only on the first tee-off) starring at his Hyper ERC in complete disbelieve. Once again he would go through the routine, and shoot the second ball off into the woods one more time. More disbelieve on his face, suspicious glances at the Hyper ERC, shaking his head in denial, and all that. But one thing is clear: he simply sucks at golf.

What happened at the tee is something that has been occurring in the corporate world all along. It happened with ERP systems and is now happening with BI systems and will continue to happen till you prepare the ground prior to deciding upon any form of enterprise-wide software implementation.

They say you can not hit a good golf shot if too many thoughts are going through your head at that time. Too many thoughts mean too many loose ends; too many ifs and buts; and inevitably a faulty swing which can lead to disastrous results. The last thing on the pro-golfer's mind is the swing part. Due to the fact that his 'flying plane' gets locked with a couple of dry swings, he's able to focus on the more immediate tactical issues relating to current playing conditions. And, adjust his swing (if required) to suit those conditions.

A reasonably good golf swing is a basic requirement before you step on to the course. The better it is the more you can get out of your equipment. Likewise you need to have reasonably stable systems and processes in pace to be able to leverage a sophisticated BI solution. That would institute the basic eligibility for an expensive BI platform. Let's look at some of the questions that you need to answer prior to making a BI investment decision:

– Do you have stable and reliable processes across the organization?
– Are these processes tightly aligned to the business goals and objectives?
– Do people across different functions rely on empirical data for decision-making?
– How would you rate your data reliability / integrity?
– Do you have legacy systems running?
– Can you migrate data from these legacy systems?
– How accurately can you define your business requirements?
– Can you name the top five BI product capabilities that are most relevant to your organization?
– Do you have a clear yardstick to measure performance gains?

For starters if you can respond to these questions to your complete satisfaction you can consider yourself ready for a BI solution. And start with the vendor selection process. That incidentally is another story. But at least you're on your way to becoming a Tiger.

In my eight years of golfing around I'm still to find a club-class golfer who has been able to drop his handicap (improve golfing performance) using expensive equipment. But in the hands of Tiger Woods, and the likes, one can see remarkable performance improvements.

So, to BI or not to BI is a question that will depend upon the responses to the above questions. Till then we'll find many more disgruntled companies fighting it out with the vendors, and some even taking them to court.

Golf is a challenging game to learn. There are few golfers who do not find themselves both surprised and a little frustrated by its complexities.

One's first thought is that it really should not be too difficult to play golf. You are after all simply aiming to hit a ball with an appropriate implement and direct that ball along a fairway. And ever you have to get it into a hole, again using an appropriate club.

You soon realize that you initial thoughts were a little simplistic. That ball turns out to be more difficult to hit that it first appeared. It's all too easy to take aim and just hit fresh air, completely missing the ball. You begin to appreciate that a little work will be required to get that ball moving at all, let alone sending it flying in the right direction.

And so most people spend a fair amount of time struggling away on the range until that ball begins to respond in the way you wish it to. Probably every golfer will acknowledge that to take some lessons at this early stage of the game is a very wise move indeed. You thereby learn good techniques from the start, and that helps a lot. There are easier and harder ways in which to swing a golf club and you may as well ingrain techniques that are easier and more superior.

This stage of learning to play golf is mechanical and technique oriented. It involves practice and repetition. And ever you are rewarded by being able to hit the ball further and straighter along the fairway. You feel great as you begin to think that you can play this pesky game after all.

Yet as soon as you think that thought, another challenge appears within this game called golf. You begin to realize that your mind can play tricks on you. You learn to appreciate the need to tame your mind and dial in your focus. You have to control your emotions. The mental game of golf is a game in itself, within the game of golf.

Once you gain a little mastery of the mental game of golf you have yet another stage of the game to travel. To play golf well you need to employ your creativity. You have to be able to see a shot and follow your instincts to find a way in which to create the shot that you have seen.

Arguably this is part of the mental game, as you see the shot in your mind's eye and then set about creating it. In fact what is happening is that your mental and creative focus triggers in you the ability to explore and develop further in your technical ability. Your play becomes less "robotic" and more creative.

Think Seve here, and you'll appreciate what I am saying. Your ability to see a shot clearly allows you to improve and hone in your technique. The task you set in your mind leads you to develop new and greater technique. It leads you to "feel" your golf shots.

You can see when a golfer truly feels their shots. You can see the focus upon their face as they take their practice swing, feeling how the club head brushes the grass, taking a few swings until they have that perfect feel. And then they set up to the ball and feel that same swing repeat itself again.

And so the stages of learning to play golf naturally feed from one to the next. You learn your basic technique and then you start to focus and get your mind on side. You start to see your shots and develop your creative mind to set tasks which further develop your technique and ever you really feel your shots.

Golf is a wonderful game to learn and to play in innumerable ways. It is very challenging but at the same time overwhelmingly rewarding. And there is always more to learn!
