I'm not usually in the habit of giving free kicks to commercial ventures, but this is worth plugging. Long time associate of the Monash
BI group, Martin Kratky runs
BI consultancy
Intalign. In great news for the
BI industry here in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane, they are bringing out Stephen Few to run some
executive workshops in October.
As you may know, Stephen is an academic at UC Berkeley specialising in data visualisation, with several excellent texts dealing with data presentation and the use (and misuse!) of the now ubiquitous dashboard. Stephen also runs consultancy
Perceptual Edge, and has a well-read blog at
Visual Business Intelligence. He is passionate, doesn't pull his punches and has a message that all
BI consultants and developers should hear.
