Nova IMS Contribution for SDGs achievement: A Business Intelligence Approach

Project Work presented as the partial requirement for obtaining a Master's degree in Information Management, specialization in Knowledge Management and Business IntelligenceTo achieve a sustainable future, some planet earth problems have to be solved. Problems can be caused by natural processes, such as changes in the sun’s radiation, volcanoes or internal variability in the climate system, or due to human influences such as changes in the composition of the atmosphere, land use and resources use (World Health Organization, 2013). This changes in the atmosphere composition are influenced by ordinary factors, such as industries, agriculture and even the economy status of the society. The United Nations have a set of 17 interdependent Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) designed to be a “blueprint to achieve a better and more sustainable future for all” (United Nations, 2017). These goals were set in 2015, and they are intended to be achieved in 2030. HEIs are core intervening entities in the achievement of this goals because they are the main drivers of innovation and economic development which means that they provide knowledge and solutions for the framework implementation and create current and future SDG implementers and HEIs can also benefit from this framework. The core drive of the project is to understand the impact and contribution of Nova IMS activities in the SDGs achievement. Through the development of a Power BI report, the institution will be able to quantify how much is contributing for each SDG in several areas and understand what are the ones calling for action
