(Livestream Replay) Let's Talk About Data Culture - with Matthew Roche

Choosing the right data and BI tools is important, but itโ€™s just part of the picture. To get the most from Power BI or any modern self-service BI tool you need more people working with more of the right data, more often. You need a data culture! Matthew Roche from the Power BI CAT team has spent the past three years working with enterprise organizations around the world, learning what works and what doesnโ€™t work. Matthew will introduce the Power BI Adoption Roadmap, a new set of guidance from the Power BI team, and will discuss steps that any organization can take to become more data-driven.
