A balanced scorecard is a strategy performance management tool – a well-structured report used to keep track of the execution of activities by staff and to monitor the consequences arising from these actions.
The term ‘balanced scorecard’ primarily refers to a performance management report used by a management team, and typically focused on managing the implementation of a strategy or operational activities. In a 2020 survey 88% of respondents reported using the balanced scorecard for strategy implementation management, and 63% for operational management. Although less common, the balanced scorecard is also used by individuals to track personal performance; only 17% of respondents in the survey reported using balanced scorecards in this way. However it is clear from the same survey that a larger proportion (about 30%) use corporate balanced scorecard elements to inform personal goal setting and incentive calculations.

Automatic identification and data capture (AIDC) refers to the methods of automatically identifying objects, collecting data about them, and entering that data directly into computer systems (i.e. without human involvement). Technologies typically considered as part of AIDC include bar codes, Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), biometrics, magnetic stripes, Optical Character Recognition (OCR), smart cards, and voice recognition. AIDC is also commonly referred to as “Automatic Identification,” “Auto-ID,” and “Automatic Data Capture.”

Adaptive Control
Adaptive control is the control method used by a controller which must adapt to a controlled system with parameters which vary, or are initially uncertain. For example, as an aircraft flies, its mass will slowly decrease as a result of fuel consumption; a control law is needed that adapts itself to such changing conditions.

Leadership, wherever it is to be found, and it can be found almost everywhere, plays an essential role in everything, and it comes in all shapes and sizes. The subject of leadership, like strategy, is very close to me, and these are facets of my knowledge and experience that I constantly try to improve. Here, I am detailing some of the leadership points of view that I have developed or embraced to some degree or another. These are things that have also served to shape me and, more importantly, to bring me to where I now am: the village of Bandoxa.

Narrator: The development method for data warehousing, whether following Inmon or Kimball, has always been iterative with apparent aspects of self-service, agility, rapid development and end-user development.
Dud: We always built data warehouses iteratively, didn’t we, Pete?
Pete: Yes, that’s right, Dud. Iterations are delivered in increments. Small enough to be quickly deliverable. Large enough to be significant to the business.

Taking a Pop at Traditional Data WarehousingPitch: I recently read a report from a data visualisation company on the “Top Ten Big Data Trends for 2017”. This is what they told me “Hadoop is no longer just a batch-processing platform for data-science use cases. It has become a multi-purpose engine for ad hoc analysis. It’s even being used for operational reporting on day-to-day workloads—the kind traditionally handled by data warehouses.” Continue reading
