Business intelligence and sustainable development goals: data-driven strategies

This exploratory study, based on a preliminary literature review, examined the role of Business Intelligence (BI) in advancing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). A qualitative approach was adopted, involving a detailed analysis of existing publications to identify how BI can transform large amounts of data into strategic information, influence critical decisions across different sectors, and contribute to the achievement of the SDGs. The integration of BI into SDG strategies and implementation was assessed as an important step forward in addressing global challenges and providing more effective solutions to complex problems. The study suggests that BI can be a driver of sustainable development, improving decision-making based on concrete data to support the SDGs. However, due to the exploratory and preliminary nature of the literature review conducted, the conclusions presented should be considered indicative and subject to confirmation through further research. The work highlights that the effective application of BI, using data to generate strategic intelligence, can lead to significant progress towards a more sustainable and innovative future. It emphasises the importance of overcoming technical constraints and developing analytical skills to maximise the potential of BI to drive sustainable and innovative development on a global scale.
