Why create interactive dashboards as one of the first steps of your business Intelligence implementation?

We will explore how integrating end-user rollout and outreach strategies consistently from the get-go can champion your analytics program. We will share our successes and challenges at Wellesley College during the implementation of Blackboard Analytics and how we arrived at a place where there is now a high demand for self-service BI, including a live demo of our dashboard tool for illustrating how this fits in with our rollout strategy.
