	<p>In 2021, <a href="https://www.thoughtspot.com/thoughtspot-blog/day-dashboard-died" target="_blank">we declared dashboards dead</a>.</p>
	<p>
		With a stagnant dashboard <a href="https://www2.deloitte.com/us/en/insights/topics/analytics/insight-driven-organization.html"  target="_blank">adoption rate of 30%</a>, an average report
		turnaround time of 4.5 days, and poor data experiences <a href="https://go.thoughtspot.com/white-paper-hbr-new-decision-makers.html"  target="_blank">reported</a> by
		84% of frontline business workers, anyone could see the writing on
		the wall.
	</p>
	<p>
		Dashboards weren’t designed to support the speed, scale, and
		granularity required to make real-time business decisions because
		they were created for a time when business decisions weren’t yet
		based on data. If you were one of the rare companies using
		analytics, they were descriptive, post-mortem examinations at best.
		And while it’s been painfully clear that modern data analytics has
		long outgrown its go-to visualization tool, it’s even more true
		today.
	</p>
	<h4 style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">The rebirth of data and analytics</h4>


	<p>
		Forget the read-only views of siloed data dashboards. Today’s
		competitive, data-driven landscape demands a new data solution. 
	</p>
	<p>
		In the new generation of data and analytics, you and your team can
		finally communicate with data in natural language. By removing the
		technical barriers to analytics, GenAI is fostering a future where
		data-backed human ideas, ingenuity, and creativity reign—not
		high-maintenance dashboards designed for an elite few.
	</p>
	<p>
		Now it’s easier than ever to deliver personalized, real-time data
		experiences to the places where your team, partners, and customers
		already work. Even better, you don’t have to 10x your data team to
		do it. With GenAI streamlining much of the tedious tasks behind data
		analysis, your teams can focus on the next level, deep-thinking work
		that really makes a difference. We’re talking analytics as 
		<a href="https://www.thoughtspot.com/resources/ebook/data-analytics-trends-2024#chapter_2">
			alive as your own imagination</a>. 
	</p>
	<p>
		<a href="https://www.thoughtspot.com/data-renaissance">This is the Data Renaissance</a>. And it’s accessible to anyone willing to step out of routine
		dashboard reliance and embrace a transcendent insight-to-action
		value chain—one without all of the current plumbing and process that
		inhibits your momentum.

Unpacking the hidden costs of legacy BI

		When defining data governance policies and creating a single source
		of truth, dashboards have created organizational chaos. As GenAI
		tools come online, this has the potential to get worse. Much worse.
	</p>
	<p>
		54% of data analysts and leaders <a href="https://profundcom.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Dimensional-Research-Data-Analyst-Survey-Report-6.5.20.pdf" target="_blank">report</a> multiple sources of truth
		and conflicting data as a top challenge in working with data. And an
		additional 90% say numerous data sources were unreliable due to
		fragmented tools and processes.
	</p>
	<p>  If that figure does not alarm you, it should.</p>
	<p>
		So much of your organization’s success hinges on business users
		having access to high-quality insights. It impacts everything from
		new revenue opportunities to customer engagement and satisfaction.
		That’s not to mention the impact on competitive changes and market
		trends.
	</p>
	<p>
		For individual employees or business groups to rely on data, trust
		is imperative. Even one error can dramatically erode data
		confidence. Data distrust directly correlates with your revenue,
		with 76% of data leaders <a href="https://www.snaplogic.com/resources/infographics/data-distrust" target="_blank">reporting</a> missed revenue opportunities.

		With fractured dashboard infrastructure comes fractured insights.
		That’s why analysts often come up with multiple answers to the same
		question, leaving data teams scrambling to troubleshoot and
		reconcile differences in dashboard outcomes. 
	</p>
	<p>
		This patchwork of dashboards and pipelines creates major blindspots,
		forcing data teams to focus on outputs rather than natively
		maintaining quality and consistency throughout the entire
		data-to-insights pipeline. To break this cycle, you must reimagine
		your entire data supply chain to ensure transparency, trust, and
		accessibility.
	</p>
	<p class="medium_black" style="padding-top: 10px;padding-bottom:10px">

	<p>
		In the Data Renaissance, these concerns are more prevalent than
		ever. In fact, 99% of leaders <a href="https://www.wavestone.com/app/uploads/2023/12/DataAI-ExecutiveLeadershipSurveyFinalAsset.pdf" target="_blank">report</a> a need for safeguards and
		guardrails for governing generative AI.
	</p>
	<p>
		By now, most people understand that <a href="https://www.thoughtspot.com/data-trends/ai/large-language-models-vs-chatgpt" target="_blank">LLMs</a> can sometimes hallucinate.
		Many also understand that the data we feed AI models can lead to
		biased and inaccurate responses. However, we don’t always know how
		to spot those inaccuracies in the real world. In a <a href="https://www.geekwire.com/2021/survey-suggests-84-of-americans-are-illiterate-about-ai-so-heres-a-quiz-to-test-your-own-ai-iq/" target="_blank">survey</a> of over
		1500 Americans, 84% failed basic AI literacy skills.
	</p>
	<p>
		Aside from trust and accuracy, there is perhaps an even larger
		concern around GenAI and <a href="https://www.thoughtspot.com/data-trends/ai/security-risk-mitigation-llm" target="_blank">LLM security</a>. In a recent <a href="https://www.sas.com/en_us/offers/24q2/generative-ai-reports.html" target="_blank">report</a>, 80% of
		leaders cite concerns about data privacy and security.
	</p>
	<p>
		As more people integrate AI into their products and processes, you
		see an LLM proliferation effect of security concerns, and only 1 in
		10 leaders <a href="https://www.sas.com/en_us/offers/24q2/generative-ai-reports.html" target="_blank">say</a> they have a plan to combat it.

			</p>
			<p class="smallest_black" style="margin-top:-10px">
				While you may not think of your trusted workplace apps as
				posing a significant risk, their use of AI may create new
				exposures for your business. Your proprietary data could be
				exposed through a hack or LLM training, just as if you were
				using an LLM directly on your own data. Even more, this
				information might be inadvertently shared with or used to
				benefit a competitor who uses the same product.

			<p>
				<strong>Unsecure code libraries</strong>
			</p>
			<p class="smallest_black" style="margin-top:-10px">
				Last, but certainly not least, LLMs introduce risk through
				more technical users, like developers or data analysts. By
				using these tools to assist with writing code, there is the
				potential to accidentally include proprietary or
				confidential credentials in the code. The LLM could then
				train on that code and then share those credentials with a
				user who doesn’t have access.

			<p>
				<strong>Data governance oversight</strong>
			</p>
			<p class="smallest_black" style="margin-top:-10px">
				You likely have different levels of access for different
				teams within your organization. For instance, a manager can
				see parts of their team’s personnel file that members of the
				team wouldn’t be able to access, while the HR team would
				need full access to this data. Because LLM’s are trained on
				all data, there is potential for the LLM to accidentally
				share data with an individual who doesn’t have access to
				view that data.

			<p>
				<strong>Data exposure via LLM </strong>
			</p>
			<p class="smallest_black" style="margin-top:-10px">
				When you’re using an LLM, it’s important to understand how
				they are using and storing your data. Consider a situation
				where they are using your data to train their models or
				storing your data and they get hacked. Either of these
				situations could lead to a leak of your proprietary data.

Reimagining data trust, quality, governance, and security

<div className="chapter_3 ebook" id="chapter_3">
	<div style="margin-top:-25px" class="desktop_only"></div>

	<p>
		Users expect more personalized, conversational data experiences in
		the age of GenAI. Whether we realize it or not, our brains are being
		rewired. For instance, how long has it been since you looked up a
		question in a reference book? Even your online search behavior on
		Google is changing.
	</p>
	<div style="padding-top:20px" class="mobile_only"></div>
	<div style="padding-top:20px" class="desktop_only"></div>

	<div class="special_bg" style="">
		<div class="bgtext">
			<p class="medium_black ">
				Did you notice that you no longer
				<br class="desktop_only" />
				have to search through list of search results on Google?
			</p>
			<p class="tiny">
				Instead, you likely read the AI-generated answer that now
				lives right under the search bar on the first page of the
				search result. And where do you go for the next question?
				Maybe you select from the list of other frequently asked
				questions, or maybe you go back to the familiar search bar.
				Either way, these results have been personalized based on
				your search patterns and your specific query. Simply ask,
				and you shall receive.
			</p>
		</div>
	</div>
	<div style="padding-top:25px" class="mobile_only"></div>
	<div style="padding-top:25px" class="desktop_only"></div>
	<p>
		There’s a reason Google changed the search engine results page
		format. It mirrors the conversational AI experience you get when
		chatting with a bot, like ChatGPT. You ask a question, build on that
		with a follow-up question, and follow that path until you get a
		critical insight—this is the way users want to interact with their
		data. Yet, it’s juxtaposed against the static experience legacy
		dashboards provide."
	</p>
	<p>
		Dashboards fail to acknowledge the reality that every business user
		is different. No two finance managers will use data in the same way
		because they don’t share the same view or understanding of the
		business. The challenges they’re trying to solve are complex and
		come in all shapes and sizes. To optimize for success, business
		users need data-driven insights tailored to their particular needs. 
	</p>
	<p>
		Personalization applies not only to what the user wants to see but
		also to when and where they want to see it. If your business user
		works out of slide decks, why not automatically push up-to-date data
		visualizations into their slides? If they’re an on-the-go exec, send
		push notifications about critical KPIs to their mobile. If you spend
		all day working in a third-party SaaS application, why not embed
		relevant insights into your existing workflow? After all, your data
		is only as valuable as the actions you take away from it.
	</p>
	<p>
		Static dashboards fail to acknowledge this, treating every viewer
		like a carbon copy of the original requester who, by the way, also
		has updated requirements they’d like to see.
	</p>

	<div style="padding-top:20px" class="desktop_only"></div>
	<p>
		Simply put, dashboards are too rigid, too slow, and too generic to
		ever create meaningful business value for the people who need them
		most.
	</p>
	<p>
		It’s time to evolve and embrace the flexibility and enhanced
		operability of GenAI in data and analytics. From personalized
		answers, uninhibited interactivity, and automated insights, to
		conversational search, embeddability, and multimodal data
		experiences—this is the way your users want to work. The impact of
		enhanced productivity and deeper insights will speak for itself, in

Dashboards dismiss individuality

<div className="chapter_4 ebook" id="chapter_4">
	<div style="margin-top:-25px" class="desktop_only"></div>
	<div style="margin-top:25px" class="mobile_only"></div>

	<p>
		Whenever business users approach analysts for an insight, they set
		off a chain reaction. No matter how well the resulting dashboard may
		answer the user’s first question, it’s the next set of deeper
		questions that drive real action. 
	</p>
	<p>
		It’s not enough to know what happened. Business users must be able
		to dig in and understand the specifics of when, where, and why. When
		they can’t, each additional follow-up question demands additional
		time and resources from your data team. This is where the use of
		legacy BI tools starts to add up—and not in a good way. 
	</p>
	<p>
		Aside from the missed opportunity to have your data inform a
		business decision, you also start to see a surmounting backlog of
		data requests. What’s the wait time for a new dashboard—days, weeks,
		months? At that point, at least half of the requests in that backlog
		are antiquated and irrelevant. search behavior on Google is
		changing.

		custom SQL edits so they can focus on the deep thinking work they
		specialize in? 
	</p>
	<p>
		Yes. And yes! Instead of having a different analytics tool for each
		business function, you could have <a href="https://www.thoughtspot.com/blog/managing-technical-debt-business-intelligence" target="_blank">one tool</a> that doubles down on
		cross-functional collaboration, supporting users whether they are
		code-first, low-code, or code-free.
	</p>
	<p>
		By breaking analytics teams out of the cycle of dashboard insanity
		and streamlining their workflows, you eliminate redundancy, improve
		efficiency, and cut down on the backlog. Then, your analysts can
		focus on the work that empowers real-time decision-making, like
		building self-service pipelines and enabling natural-language search
		for the business user. 
	</p>
	<p>
		Don’t reduce your analyst to mere report builders and order takers.
		When you empower this team to tap into their true potential, they’ll
		become trusted advisors who understand the needs of the business,
		help users get to the why, and provide invaluable insights to your
		organization's most pressing challenges.
	</p>
	<p>
		This is the type of analytics work that has a direct impact on your
		bottom line.

		Don’t worry, it’s not all doom and gloom for your data team. Today’s

		transform information into a living, breathing ecosystem of insights

		That said, not all modern analytics solutions are equal. Having a
		search bar doesn’t make it self-service, just like having a handy
		SQL editor doesn’t equate to ad-hoc query capability. And BI tools
		that claim to be AI-powered are only as promising as their GA,
		tried-and-tested features.
	</p>
	<p>
		Almost every notable BI vendor has a plan to integrate GenAI into
		their tools. We’ve seen promises of chatbots, auto-generated
		dashboards, and natural language search—but the hype cycle is
		ending. The market is demanding <a href="https://www.thoughtspot.com/blog/leading-with-generative-ai" target="_blank">real business value from GenAI</a>.
