Hi everyone! I’ve been away in the Washington area spending time in Tysons Corners Virginia in a three day training bootcamp with MicroStrategy, the leading Business Intelligence and Analytics firm and I’ve taken lots of thinking from the week and brought it to this week’s episode. I’ll talk about innovative new tools and features that allow for really impactful access to your organizational data. As well we will look at some really amazing AI tools that I had a chance to experience. In the second segment I talk about how we can strategically look at our own organizations through the lens of competition and our competitors. Lastly, I spend some time talking about the importance of developing use cases to ensure you get value from your data and analytics initiatives.
