Or, What Nintendo’s Game Boy has to do with Analytics Back before the success of the Nintendo Switch or the motion-controller craze of the Nintendo Wii, there was a device that encapsulated a central driving philosophy of Nintendo and was key to its long-term success in...
Welcome back to our journey in maturing analytics. In Part 1, we looked at our job to be done and why it wasn’t building dashboards. In Part 2, we dove into the details of how dashboards can be a mismatch to users’ needs. Now, we’ll...
In this six-part series, we’ve discussed the adoption history, planning a BI Rollout, decentralizing ownership of data workflows and operational definitions of key terms like data governance, data lineage and data provenance. We discussed change management and ideas for spreading data literacy throughout your company...
An issue and an opportunity for nearly every existing business intelligence system is keeping it running well and minimizing costs. Cloud-based software makes it easy to spin up a data warehouse or a data lake, use data transformation tools, create data science studies and publish dashboard...
Often, discussions about data governance begin and end with security. Preventing unauthorized access or the loss of proprietary data is crucial. Data governance also ensures that your data systems comply with regulatory requirements and protect privacy. You are undoubtedly aware of the horror stories regarding data...
Selecting business intelligence software and planning a rollout is a significant undertaking. The real work should begin well before you start selecting software. You must comprehensively assess your entire organization’s information needs, wants and data workflows. Building a Strategic Vision Roadmap We call these planning sessions Strategic...
Speed is of the essence in lots of things, and Tableau dashboards are no different. Developers and end users alike want dashboards loaded in a blink of an eye. Luckily, there are many resources online that will help you optimise your dashboards, such as optimising...
As many are already aware, recently there has been a lot of noise about security on the Snowflake platform. On June 2, 2024 Snowflake issued this statement regarding a targeted threat campaign against some Snowflake customer accounts. This appeared to be a targeted campaign directed at users...
At InterWorks, we put an enormous amount of effort into translating complex technical concepts to make them easily understandable — and actionable — for the organisations we work with. It's extraordinarily difficult to decide about a tool or vendor without understanding what it does and...
Welcome back! Through the previous blog, we have understood why using Published Data Sources in Tableau can be beneficial, and we have set up our first Published Data Source in our Tableau Cloud or Server environment. Now, let's take a look at some things we...
The following table, which employs URL links, bars, background colors and icons to visually depict data, was created in Power BI. To achieve a similar result in Tableau would necessitate at least three applications of the “forklift” technique or, if precise control over column widths...
For anyone interested in learning multiple BI tools, it's always a rough start in the beginning: we're sure we know the basics, but we also need to understand how some concepts translate or don't even compare. Like a Mac user trying to use a PC, switching...
Have you ever been asked to create a dashboard with some sub-standard data? Maybe you don’t have the amount of data columns you would want, or maybe you are trying to perform some data analysis to support a data-driven decision. You might even be trying...
Tableau released a beta version of Pulse to the public this week, and we think there are some pretty cool things about it. If you’re not familiar with Pulse, we wrote an introductory article after Tableau showcased it at TC23. Tableau has been hard at...
Tableau Pulse is really going to shake up the traditional Tableau experience by offering some exciting new capabilities. If you’re already a Tableau Cloud customer, you can start testing these new capabilities using the beta version, and we’ve put together a few recommendations to help...
As of this writing, I am a few weeks away from earning my master’s degree in economics. If I had to distill my years of learning into a catchphrase, it would be something to the tune of, “Simplify and optimize!” A major task in economic...
As I started brainstorming new content, I wanted to do something a little less edgy and a little more fun. Thus, I had this fantastically random idea of capturing some of the greatest words in the English language and maybe help you learn how a...
There has been a broad trend toward self-service that has applied across industries, across geographic boundaries and long time periods. We once expected to be served individually by butchers or bakers, but now help ourselves from a supermarket shelf. In industry, corporations once employed armies of...
As the professional equivalent of a monkey with a typewriter, I have been watching the news about AI chatbots with both wonder and an ever-present, underlying fear that I will soon be replaced by our machine overlords. The future, it seems, is a mystery to...
Environments that encourage learning, sharing and discovery will prosper. Environments that don't will not achieve high performance. I snickered at this title when I first thought about it. How does one "create" a "data culture" exactly? Previously I discussed training, tracking and reporting successes, all...
