Modern data estates are too big, too complex, and too diverse to rely solely on a central BI team to deliver reporting and analytics solutions. To build a successful data culture you need to include both a center of excellence and a broader community of practice that empowers and engages a broad range of users across the organization.

This video looks at a variety of approaches and techniques for building a community to get the most out of your company's data, and the best return on your investment in self-service BI tools.
