Next Tuesday (February 2nd 2016) I will be presenting a webinar to help get started with Alteryx and Tableau, you can register here. In this blog post I want to lay out what you can expect from the session.

Combining Alteryx and Tableau

Tableau is the leading self-serve Data Visualisation tool; it helps you see and understand your data. Alteryx is the leader in Self-Service Data Analytics; it offers a complete set of tools to allow you to prepare, blend and analyse your data. Traditional data analysis solutions limit what we can achieve by requiring programming or demanding a range of tools that break the analytical flow by stifling creativity and limiting insight. Alteryx and Tableau remove the shackles of coding and present a flexible alternative. Using Alteryx and Tableau keeps your team nimble and helps you make data-driven decisions quickly.

Free your data, and your mind

Over the last two years I’ve helped thousands of analysts get started with Alteryx and Tableau through my blogs, videos and training sessions. In this webinar I want to draw this experience together to present a vision for how you can bring these two tools into your workflow both from a technical and cultural point of view.From a technical perspective it’s important your workflow remains uncluttered when moving between the two tools, and that your analysis can be shared easily. I’ll be sharing tips to help you:

optimise your time between the two tools and produce results quickly
use Alteryx to simplify data visualisation and exploration in Tableau
use Tableau to drive your data preparation and blending in Alteryx
leverage best practices to can help minimise the steps you take between the tools

From an organisational perspective then it’s important to realise that by adopting solutions like Alteryx and Tableau you are making only part of the changes you need to make in order to become data driven. The rest of the changes come from a cultural standpoint; I will talk through:

why your organisation will benefit from becoming more data driven
how creativity is linked to insight, even in a purely analytical team
ways in which you can leverage the Alteryx and Tableau communities to help your team to train and learn new skills
why moving to Alteryx and Tableau doesn’t have to clash with your existing data and IT practices

I look forward to sharing thoughts and will be taking your questions throughout the webinar (over Twitter and in the Alteryx community) which I will answer during the Q&A sections at the end of the webinar.Please remember to register for the webinar and share your questions ahead of and/or during with @Alteryx and @ChrisLuv.
