Over the past decade, there’s been
a sea change when it comes to the
industry’s perception of data. Enterprises,
employers, non-profits alike are
recognising its merits and as the data
wave pushes forward, Tableau stands
set to benefit from this tailwind. For
businesses’ looking to tap into data
Selipsky’s advice is simple: get the
culture right and the sky’s the limit.
“Anytime a company talks about
change, leadership plays a crucial role
in driving it,” he observes. “I think
fundamentally it’s about setting that
direction and saying, ‘we are going to
make decisions in a way that is
different to what we have done in the
past’. I think there are some tactical
things that help make that happen:
I think the creation of centres of
excellence around data and analytics
really help to create a lightning rod for
the organisation to turn to. Overall,
providing that leadership and showing
the organisation the roadmap that
they’re going to be heading is crucial.”
