Top 10 Business Intelligence Trends for 2017

Excel is great for managing data. But if you want to find powerful insights from your data, Excel can’t do the job on its own - it needs the power of visual analytics.

In this webinar, we’re going to reveal how you can discover a wealth of new insights by using Excel and Tableau together. As Tableau natively connects to Excel, you can keep your spreadsheets whilst digging deeper into your data with fast and easy drag-and-drop analytics.

Watch this webinar to learn how using Excel and Tableau together enhances your analysis, including how to:

*Instantly connect to multiple spreadsheets
*Transform your spreadsheets into a single dashboard
*Spot visual patterns quickly
*Go beyond your initial insights to explore and build stories in your data
*Publish your results online for your team to analyse

Say hello to Explain Data—a new AI-powered feature that helps you understand the “why” behind the values in your data. It provides potential explanations for unexpected data points with a single click.

Curious to see it in action?

Watch this webinar and see how Explain Data is changing the way in which you interact with data. Join Tableau product experts as they outline the technology behind the newest feature and how significant AI innovations are bringing you closer to your data so that you can get answers faster and make better, more meaningful decisions.

Many organizations don’t realize how much faster and more accurate their decision making would be if they were better at data visualization. Indeed, most organizations struggle with seeing and understanding their data. (Think about some of those 100-page slide decks and 60-column spreadsheets.)

In this webinar, Tableau Zen Master and best-selling author Steve Wexler will share insights on how to get your organization to "get" data visualization.

Watch and learn:

- Why “just the numbers” isn't good enough
- The “gateway drug” to data visualization
- Why do we see so many bar charts?
- Why most people make a mess of using color
- The secret to engaging your stakeholders and the power of disaggregated data
- What you should always, always, always keep in mind

If you’re new to data visualization, this webinar will help you understand the benefits of well-designed charts and dashboards. If you are experienced in data visualization, this webinar will help you evangelize its use in your organization.

What is data literacy and what does it look like to be proficient?

Watch this webinar to hear from Ben Jones, author of Avoiding Data Pitfalls and Founder and CEO of Data Literacy, LLC. Ben loves to help people learn the language of data and is a highly experienced and enthusiastic instructor, having taught data to thousands in a variety of corporate settings, academic classrooms, and international conferences.

Ben will challenge you to think beyond the specific data analysis tools you're learning or have mastered, and instead, consider 17 key traits of data literacy.

To help orient you, Ben will divide these traits into several categories: knowledge, skills, attitudes, and behaviors. He'll also teach you how to assess your own data literacy strengths and weaknesses.
