In this newsletter, we’re helping you stay committed to your data goals by directing your focus on initiatives we are confident will help you make a difference with your data.
I’d also like to invite you to our upcoming live Q&A Panel: Practical Data Priorities for 2025 to hear directly from our experts about how these concepts and strategies can help your business. Register to join live or receive the recording after!
Here are 5 we’ll dig deeper into at the panel next week:
1. Get Actionable Insights from Your Dashboards with SPC
Unlike traditional dashboards, which can overwhelm with data, SPC tools like control charts (also known as XmR charts) help you detect meaningful shifts that require action.
"SPC goes beyond just tracking; it’s about knowing when to act."
-Sean Costello
2. Speed Up Decisions with Embedded AI
The focus isn’t on flashy AI; it’s on using platform-native tools to integrate insights directly into workflows. The result? Faster decisions, better resource allocation, and fewer bottlenecks for your team.
"AI integration is shifting from novelty to necessity. It’s about leveraging embedded capabilities to make smarter decisions faster."
– Michael Kollman
3. Build Trust with Transparent AI Decisions
Explainable AI (XAI) doesn’t just meet regulatory requirements — it builds trust by showing how decisions are made. That’s critical for industries like finance and healthcare, where transparency is a must for adoption and growth.
"XAI answers the ‘why’ behind AI decisions, building trust and driving deeper adoption." – Josh Johnston
4. Scale Smarter with Open Data Formats
Open data formats give you the freedom to avoid vendor lock-in and choose the best tools for every job. This flexibility allows you to scale operations efficiently while maintaining control over your data.
"The key is pairing open formats with a clear strategy to ensure consistency and control — flexibility without governance can backfire." – Brian Buxton
5. Use Data Mesh to Empower Teams to Deliver Faster Insights
Data Mesh is shifting data ownership to those closest to the business need. By decentralizing data workflows, teams can generate insights faster and act on them more effectively — without waiting on IT.
"By putting data in the hands of domain experts, Data Mesh enables faster, more accurate insights that actually move the needle."
– Abutaleb Haidary
