One of the key note speakers this year is drs. ing. B.A. van der Klift, CFO of ARCADIS. He will speak about how Business Intelligence is used and will be used in the future to power current and future growth of ARCADIS.

During this educational and inter-active event the following aspects are leading:

• BI project management
• BI Governance
This program will be concluded by the presentation of the results of the ‘Nationaal
onderzoek Business Intelligence 2006’, the presentation of the Business Intelligence Award to the most intelligent organisation of 2006 and a executive diner.

The Business Intelligence Award 2006
The Business Intelligence Award is an award that Passionned in cooperation with other associates presents to the most intelligent organisation of 2006. Based on a research among 200 respondents a list of nominates will be determined. The best in class will be nominated for the BI award. Every Dutch speaking organisation in the Benelux can register for this award until 31-01-2007 (go to: www.biaward.nl). Different developments like globalization, digitalizing, internet, liberalism, the ongoing influence of a free market system and the enormous amount of data urges organisations to behave more intelligent to improve the performance of their operations. As turned out last year, the Business Intelligence Award can have a huge impact on the development of BI within the organisation. By winning the Business Intelligence Award new BI-budgets were given. But also the specific feedback on the BI organisation can help you to bring attention on BI by top management.
