In many ways BI is going backwards.
Since many bussiness-men (and women) will see stats as a tech-problem where you should give someone computers and files and then the techie will give you answers the quality is steadily declining.
If bussinesses really wanted to improve they would start with the basics (i.e. do the basic stats mainly confirm what we think we know) and then add on increasingly complex reporting.
