Abstract

There are many reasons that self-service models fail. Furthermore, these reasons are directly applicable in the management of self-service business inteligence modeling. Our article expands upon the reasons for failure and suggests how self-service models can be made successful through implementation of a centralized approach to development, testing, implementation and support for the delivery of decision making information.

Reengineering business processes in government: A framework for performance improvement interventions

Conference Montgomery, J C ; Levine, L O ; Carson, M L

The world is changing quickly, and government agencies have difficulty adapting. One reason is that they are based on a bureaucratic model derived from the industrial mass production era. While this model provides organizational benefits, such as stability and clear lines of authority, it also minimizes flexibility and diversity in service delivery. While the private sector has moved away from this model, the public sector remains wedded to a top-down, standardized service delivery system. Dissatisfaction with the traditional model of government is rampant. Constituencies are demanding that government agencies consume less and provide more. There is tremendous pressure on governmentmore »« less

Building America Case Study: Accelerating the Delivery of Home-Performance Upgrades Using a Synergistic Business Model, Minneapolis, Minnesota

Program Document

Achieving Building America energy savings goals (40 percent by 2030) will require many existing homes to install energy upgrades. Engaging large numbers of homeowners in building science-guided upgrades during a single remodeling event has been difficult for a number of reasons. Performance upgrades in existing homes tend to occur over multiple years and usually result from component failures (furnace failure) and weather damage (ice dams, roofing, siding). This research attempted to: A) Understand the homeowner's motivations regarding investing in building science based performance upgrades. B) Determining a rapidly scalable approach to engage large numbers of homeowners directly through existing customermore »« less

Accelerating the Delivery of Home Performance Upgrades through a Synergistic Business Model

Technical Report Schirber, Tom ; Ojczyk, Cindy

Achieving Building America energy savings goals (40% by 2030) will require many existing homes to install energy upgrades. Engaging large numbers of homeowners in building science-guided upgrades during a single remodeling event has been difficult for a number of reasons. Performance upgrades in existing homes tend to occur over multiple years and usually result from component failures (furnace failure) and weather damage (ice dams, roofing, siding). This research attempted to: A) understand the homeowner's motivations regarding investing in building science based performance upgrades; B) determining a rapidly scalable approach to engage large numbers of homeowners directly through existing customer networks; and C) access a business model that will manage all aspects of the contractor-homeowner-performance professional interface to ensure good upgrade decisions over time. The solution results from a synergistic approach utilizing networks of suppliers merging with networks of homeowner customers. Companies in themore »« less

Computing the cost of unbundled services

Journal Article Willis, L ; Finney, J ; Ramon, G - IEEE Computer Applications in Power

A central tenet of electric power industry deregulation is that the delivery of electric power (a service) must be decoupled from the purchase of the power itself (a product) and priced and contracted separately. Transmission of electricity must be offered and priced separately from the power itself, and delivery of power must stand on its own as a business. Regardless of the precise nature of the deregulated system`s rules and structure, this means that transmission system operators need to know the actual operating costs of providing transmission services to their customers. Accurate knowledge of the actual costs of providing transmissionmore »« less

PipeSight: A High-Performance Computing Platform for Pipeline Integrity Management

Technical Report Spring, Daniel ; Panzarella, Charles ; Stenta, Aaron ; ...

The Phase I feasibility study completed as part of this project has led to a number of innovative technologies being developed and has laid the foundation for a successful Phase II effort to commercialize a platform for managing the integrity of pipelines for the damage mechanisms of the new, hybrid-energy based economy. To ground the development efforts and direction of the project, an extensive market research and customer discovery effort was undertaken early in Phase I. Through this effort, a number of pipeline owners and operators were interviewed, and the following key findings were discovered about the pipeline industry: •more »« less
