Abstract

This chapter is dedicated to the dynamics of development of BI function in an organization. The first part discusses the development path of BI systems since the start of its life cycle, and addresses the notion of BI maturity using published research and own findings. The second part of the chapter is given to the notion of BI agility, deeming it one of the most important features in a turbulent and ever-changing business environment.
For BI that is considered mature, all important discoveries regarding its adoption have been made, while agility has to be prepared for important discoveries that can emerge from any unexpected points. In this aspect, maturity seems to apply to more structured and well-understood phenomena, while agility regards activities and environments that are experiencing constant changes. BI is a mix of both, but the insight-producing part of BI, attributed to advanced informing, needs agility because of being largely unstructured and undergoing constant changes.
