.Decision intelligence makes the logical step forward from merely telling the user what has happened. It tells the team what actions to take next, specifically, automatically and prioritised by the impact on profit. The premise of decision intelligence is determining all the relationships between the inputs and outputs of the industry sector, in this case online retail. By defining these relationships it ensures that a true map of cross-functional cause and effect can be determined. By overlaying the costs and revenues associated with the inputs and outputs a model of the financial impact of the cause and effect can be drawn. From the financial model can be deduced the relative impact on profit of any action. The result: a scientific approach, based on the operational data, to making systematic and prioritised cross-functional decisions. Delete the scoop?
