Not to be Lost in Chaos
Are you aware? We were able to direct our life without requiring any assistance, any guide and any orientation. But, today we are directing ourselves and our lives either with a help of guide or with a point of help. When we investigate the reason, we see that we are under the information bombardment. Especially mobile gadgets and devices, internet, advertisement world and competition are the premier carriers in this information load. We need to predicate a qualitative usage of information instead of a quantitative usage.
The usage of information in the competition environments shapes up with collection of information from various resources, fastly accesible, predictable results by using logical and mathematical relations. The companies who could realize these highly contribute to their businesses positively.
To step, to decide and to walk with right steps, depends how you are the master of the situation or subject. We usually do a helicopter look to see bigger picture for problems, and define our way how to proceed.
Global Positioning Systems ( GPSs), are very good indicators of our thinking and decision making systems. To fix one’s place; for the people who wants to route themselves to reach to a point, by facing different things, and what they should do at which point. They look from a different angle and from top to those situations, and they find where they are, and what they should do, and easily take right decisions.
Without mentioning these positioning systems, we already use the same approach in our daily lives. Business Intelligence and Data Mining technologies will always keep their importance, and provides right decision making and save our business. There are new concepts that take this as a basis. The concepts like Business Positioning Systems – BPS, People Positioning Systems – PPS, are minimizing decision taking times and provides to executives where they are on their businesses as a solution.
At the moment, in complex and heterogenous systems, information, data and pre-defined reports are only collecting within the defined time periods. This makes slower for decision making processes, and because of this management can not see the wanted results in any time.
Presently, within the importance of information usage and with the speed of competition, you can act like a pilot who uses his dashboard. And with the help of these applications you can accomplish your mission by becoming a pilot of your business.
In order not to lose yourself in chaos, to set your direction, to take fast and right decisions, to be able to step ahead with predictive analysis, usage of “positioning systems” will increase in the near future. And with an unknown reason it seems that there will be new problems while these systems create an easy life for us.
