Business Intelligence Capabilities Model: BI Capabilities
A BI capability map with 175+ capabilities, definitions, and Level-2 KPIs — built on the capability, not this year's dashboard tool. Use it to assess maturity, scope BI RFPs, and align technology to business needs.
About This Capability Model
A comprehensive, industry-agnostic capability map for the Business Intelligence function, covering 175+ business capabilities organized across three hierarchical levels. Use it to evaluate functional maturity, plan capability investments, and align technology to business needs.
Why a capability model, not a prompt
BI sits at the intersection of a business function and a tool category, and that's exactly where a generic AI answer gets it wrong: ask for "BI capabilities" and you'll likely get a list of dashboard and reporting FEATURES lifted from whatever vendor's docs are best-represented in the training data, not the underlying capability those features serve. "Self-Service Analytics" is a capability that outlives any specific tool; "Power BI Copilot" is this year's way of delivering it. This map keeps that boundary intact.
What's Inside
- Capability Map — 175+ capabilities across Level 1 (strategic), Level 2 (tactical), and Level 3 (operational), in PowerPoint, Word, and Excel
- Capability Definitions — Clear descriptions at the most granular level for consistent interpretation
- Capability KPIs — Measurable indicators at Level 2 to assess maturity and performance
How Teams Use It
- Baseline current-state maturity and pinpoint capability gaps before a BI platform consolidation or replatforming
- Scope BI/analytics RFPs against actual capabilities instead of a vendor's feature checklist
- Give business and IT a shared vocabulary for what "self-service" or "data governance" actually means in your organization
- Prioritize automation and data-quality investment by capability, not by whoever escalates loudest
Who It's For
Enterprise architects, business architects, BI and analytics leaders, transformation teams, and technology strategists evaluating or consolidating BI platforms.
