3. Make BI Great Again
Manage episode 296771236 series 2942152
“Business intelligence” has become a rather unfashionable term in the world of data and analytics. From generating buisness insights from intelligent use of data, it has largely devolved to become a software engineering function - to connect databases to front end tools.
However, there is far more to business intelligence than just writing queries. In this episode, Karthik talks to another BI professional - Balaji Kuppuswamy, director of BI products at Youtube. They talk about what BI really is, the skills involved in BI, where it sits in an organisation, and how it can truly add value.
Show Notes:
00:03:30 - What is the definition of Business Intelligence?
00:07:20 - BI’s marketing and branding problem
00:12:50 - The role of science in BI
00:15:20 - Interactive dashboards
00:19:00 - What’s it like being a data scientist in BI?
