TL;DR: This paper investigates the opportunities in using BI technologies to make sense of a business environment and highlights the need for creating and maintaining individual; and organizational identity and enacting this identity on the business and its environment.
Abstract: Making sense of an organization overwhelmed with data becomes a problem for decision makers at all levels of business planning and operation. Although scholars have suggested several technological solutions such as business intelligence as being useful in helping busy executives to make decisions, we still know little about assisting business stakeholders in the process of understanding their organizational complexity before such decisions could even be formulated. In this paper, we investigate the opportunities in using BI technologies to make sense of a business environment. We analyze the views and opinions of developers, analysts, consultants, and users of business intelligence, who are experienced in using the technology beyond decision making to support organizational sensemaking. Our results highlight the need for creating and maintaining individual; and organizational identity and enacting this identity on the business and its environment.

Abstract: Process mining techniques allow for the analysis of business processes based on event logs. For example, the audit trails of a workflow management system, the transaction logs of an enterprise resource planning system, and the electronic patient records in a hospital can be used to discover models describing processes, organizations, and products. Moreover, such event logs can also be used to compare event logs with some a-priori model to see whether the observed reality conforms to some prescriptive or descriptive model. This chapter takes the MXML format as a starting point, i. e., a format that stores event logs in a unified manner. Based on this format, we will show how process mining techniques can be used to support decision making in business processes.
