		<description>While a full ROI analysis might have so many assumptions in it that it is worthless, it is dangerous to throw the baby out with the bathwater.

We need more measurement rather than less.  We need to be tracking the progress of all of our initiatives against the goals that we have set for the organization.  Those that are helping us to our goals should be fed and those that are not should be left behind.

BI is going to grow significantly in the next 5 years.  Decision by gut/culture will decrease.</description>
