One chance at a first impression

Hello world!

Thanks for giving me the opportunity to share with you my thoughts and ideas.  You may have stumbled upon this blog by accident or maybe the topics which I write about are somehow relavant to your life.  Either way I hope that you can learn from my experiences and I can also learn from you. 

Currently I am the manager of a Business Intelligence and Analysis Dept in a rapidly growing mid size distribution company.  We are the Big players in the industry and it is a constantly flux environment where the need for information is at its peak since the inception of the business. Business intelligence analysis is at the center driving the information that helps keep the company one step ahead of the competition.

All this is to set the expectations and purpose for the subjects and topics of my blog.  Firstly, this blog is to serve as a white board for my thoughts and ideas so that I may work through the problems and situation that I face daily.  Secondly to think through my decisions and research more in depth the things which I am curious about and are relevant to business analysis and business intelligence. And finally to share with others and bounce ideas off other who are looking to grow their knowledge of BI.
