Fluid data conversations replace static dashboards

In their 2015 Business Intelligence trends Tableau Software reported that ‘we are starting to see an age when data is interactive enough that it can become the backbone of a conversation’. At Delphi Analytics we had noticed this dynamic as organisations are beginning to tire of big presentations and reject them in favour of ‘live interactive analytics’ sessions. As analytical tools have become faster and more flexible it is possible to have a dynamic conversation about business issues with the data in the room. Charts become the beginning rather than the end of the conversation.
