To navigate the data chaos and make sense of a rapidly-changing landscape, Tableau spoke with experts, customers, and other Tableau leaders to learn what emerging forces continue to evolve how we work, the role data and analytics play, and what this means to the future of our customers, partners, company, and the Tableau Community. 

Let's have a quick peek at the trends that will impact your business in 2022, according to Tableau.

1 ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

AI augments and empowers human expertise.

3 WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT

Competitive organizations recognize that future-proofing the workforce is more than just data skills and tools training.

The world is increasingly data-driven, creating a global demand for data skills. This leaves no person, company or country behind when it comes to understanding and working with data. Data skills will be necessary for every role, in every sector of the workforce. To meet the growing demand, data literacy will become a required curriculum for classrooms and companies. At a minimum, people will need basic data fluency and analytical skills.

Organizations adopt more inclusive data governance approaches to stay competitive and compliant.

The drive toward digital transformation has resulted in a data explosion–or data chaos.

Early adopters who set up and embrace flexible data governance techniques will also enjoy the benefits of being compliant and competitive.
