Business Intelligence Quarter (hereinafter, the Quarter) is the first of four lectures of Operations Quadrivium (hereinafter, the Quadrivium):
- The Quarter is designed to introduce its learners to enterprise discovery, or, in other words, to concepts related to obtaining data needed to administer the enterprise effort; and

The predecessor lecture is Enterprise Acquisitions Quarter.
Concepts
- Business intelligence. Information that managers can use to make more effective strategic decisions.
- Data analysis.
- Data reliability. The trustworthiness of data; this trustworthiness is a result of analysis of (a) content reliability, (b) source reliability, and (c) data intent.
- Data intent. Intention or purpose with which data was created.
- Fact-based data. Data created with the intent to provide its users with facts.
- Opinion-based data. Data created with the intent to provide its users with opinions.
- Agenda-based data. Data created with the intent to provide its users with information desired to accommodate one's business goals or agendas.
- Content audit. Reviewing and cataloguing an existing repository of content.
- Analytics. A broad term that encompasses a variety of tools, techniques and processes used for extracting useful information or meaningful patterns from data.
- Association. A link between two elements or objects in a diagram.
- Big data. The vast amount of quantifiable information that can be analyzed by highly sophisticated data processing.
- Forecast. Prediction of outcome.
- Scenario. A consistent view of what the future is likely to be.
- Systematic study. Looking at relationships, attempting to attribute causes and effects, and drawing conclusions based on scientific evidence.
- Appreciative inquiry. An approach that seeks to identify the unique qualities and special strengths of an organization, which can then be built on to improve performance.
- Breakeven analysis. A technique for identifying the point at which total revenue is just sufficient to cover total costs.
- Capability. An organization's skill and ability in doing the work activities needed in its business.
- Core competency. An organization's major value-creating capability that determines its competitive weapons.

- Productivity. The combination of the effectiveness and efficiency of an organization.
- Qualitative forecasting. Forecasting that uses the judgment and opinions of knowledgeable individuals to predict outcomes.
- Quantitative forecasting. Forecasting that applies a set of mathematical rules to a series of past data to predict outcomes.
- Data curation
- Controlled processing. A detailed consideration of evidence and information relying on facts, figures, and logic.
- Automatic processing. A relatively superficial consideration of evidence and information making use of heuristics.
Methods
- Data-analysis technique.
- Investigation. The formal or systematic examination of data sources that uses one or more data-gathering techniques and is conducted in order to gather data and/or assess data reliability.
