Abstract
Business Intelligence (BI) promises a range of technologies for using information to ensure compliance to strategic and tactical objectives, as well as government laws and regulations. These technologies can be used in conjunction with conceptual models of business objectives, processes and situations (aka business schemas) to drive strategic decision-making about opportunities and threats. This paper focuses on three key concepts for strategic business models – situation, influence and indicator – and how they are used, in the context of goal modeling, to build and analyze business schemas based on goal and probabilistic reasoning techniques.
