I’m seeing so many people in the data space say that companies need to get their data right before they can do AI (we may even be guilty at times). It is simply wrong. Look, I’m not saying data hygiene isn’t important, but telling people they...
In a world of daily technological advances, many business analysts and executives continue to lean on the comfort of their crosstabs as a preferred mode of consuming their corporation’s data. A crosstab, more commonly known as a data table, displays a relationship between two or...
Change management is hard. With AI changing our businesses, it’s also crucial. I’ve been thinking about change management lately through the lens of "Switch" by Chip and Dan Heath. If you haven't read it, the book uses a powerful metaphor: Our rational mind is the...
“Don’t Panic” The words printed on the cover of Douglas Adams’s Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy ring true in the case of disasters such as this. Luckily, thanks to Sigma’s API, restoring a lost connection does not need to be such a headache. I am going to...
Salesforce just made headlines for cutting 4,000 customer service jobs, with CEO Marc Benioff proudly declaring he "needs less heads" now that AI agents handle half their support interactions. Microsoft chopped 15,000 roles this year. Meta cut 3,600. The message from Silicon Valley is clear:...
In the final part of our series breaking down common data and analytics pain points, we explore tool selection and its impact on your data ecosystem and end users. You can read about other common challenges in our full white paper, but today we'll be...
In case you don’t already know what Sigma is, it's this cool cloud-based analytics platform that empowers users to easily explore, visualize and collaborate on data using a familiar spreadsheet interface. However, it differs from traditional analytics tools with its actions that allow developers to...
I have to admit, when I am teaching courses on Tableau, I oftentimes try to be perfect. Not to say that I am a perfectionist, but I just want the training to go smoothly and for the learners and participants to feel like they’ve gotten...
In the fourth part of our series on data and analytics pain points, I talk about user adoption and ROI is a pain along with some solutions that can make this biggest pain easier to manage. For more insights on other common challenges, I encourage...
While browsing our Snowflake sandbox, I came across a dataset tracking InterWorkers’ work flights and the corresponding carbon footprint each generated. Instantly, I imagined building an interactive decision app: a central hub where employees could request flights and supervisors could approve them while keeping carbon...
When I first started working with Sigma I was not sure if the tool would be able to create dashboards with the same high fidelity look as their competitors, such as Tableau. The grid layout's ease of use and approachability for newcomers was a plus,...
As we continue our blog series broken out from the "Biggest Pain Points for Data and Analytics Leaders" white paper, we set our sights on the third most common challenge: strategy. The Problem One of the biggest challenges for data leaders is noise. There are often so...
When delivering dashboards for our clients, it’s easy to get caught up in the layout, containers and design while ensuring the experience is up to corporate standards and is “production” ready. For me, it’s oftentimes the little things that matter most in life. And with dashboards,...
For the second blog in this series, which was originally sourced from my white paper on common challenges faced by data and analytics leaders, we dive into the challenge of people resourcing. While the figures here are based on the Australian market, the core challenges...
When tasked with the ambiguous project to “create a dashboard,” I spun my wheels for a while trying to think of the perfect idea for my first Tableau Public dashboard. If you know me, you know I am a “recovering” perfectionist, and the worst thing...
Late last year, I wrote a white paper that identified what the biggest pain points were for data and analytic leaders. The information was based on a multi-industry survey conducted across hundreds of clients, which provided insight on the main problems. From there, we took...
Many Sigma users start by creating a new workbook and pulling in warehouse tables as their data source. This often means doing extra prep work, joining tables, renaming columns or building aggregations, all within each workbook. That logic stays locked in the workbook, making it...
Software is designed for the average customer, but the truth is that no customer is the actual average. That's why we're always dealing with trade-offs. Our tool process flow doesn’t quite match the reality of our business. The analytics dashboard doesn’t quite capture the right...
As we explore new ways to leverage Sigma across the company, I had the opportunity to build a dashboard that would be featured in our Viz Gallery. This space showcases impactful visualizations created by our team, and contributing to it felt like both an honor...
July, around the InterWorks home state of Oklahoma, is a special time. The kids are out of school, the cicadas start singing, the weather is swelteringly hot, and the barbecues and cookouts are aplenty. It's the peak of summer, no doubt about it. As romantic (and...
