Business Intelligence Strategies for the CIOWe're a large insurance company looking to hire a business intelligence (BI)
project manager. We've narrowed our candidates down to two. One has an impressive collection of
certifications and formal education, but not a lot of job experience. The other has lots of
applicable job experience, but not a lot of formal education. How do I know which candidate is the
better option?

Your dilemma is one of potential versus experience. Hopefully both candidates
would do very well in the role.
Here's what I suggest you do to choose your next business intelligence (BI) project manager: Develop 10 or so key criteria for the position and rank each in order of importance. Rank each candidate against the criteria to determine who has the better score.
Personally, I tend to lean to the person who has the applicable job experience and has been successful in previous positions.
