Each month, the grAI Team tracks what's moving across Tableau and AI, testing features as they land, working out what's actually useful, and distilling the result into sessions you can act on. That's TIC. The output of two people doing this work anyway, brought to you every month so you don't have to do it alone.

Tableau Ambassador (3x, 2023–present). 12+ years in Tableau training and coaching at the highest levels. Founder of VizDJ, curator of the Tableau Bites newsletter and creator of the Powerful Dashboards framework and the Tableau Training on Tap (TToT) coaching program.

Tableau Visionary, Hall of Fame. Decades at the sharp end of Tableau analytics and training. Author of Questions in DataViz. One of the most respected practitioners in the Datafam.

Together, through the grAI Team, we track everything happening across Tableau and AI, distilling what actually matters. TIC is where we share that output every month.

And the people who use Tableau seriously (analysts, developers, and team leads who are genuinely good at their jobs) are working flat out just to keep the dashboards running. There's no time left to track the tool itself.

Most Tableau users aren't ignoring this. They're watching AI closely. They know it matters. They're waiting for the right moment to properly get to grips with it.

That moment never comes.

Here's why. Every urgent request, every broken dashboard, every stakeholder who needed it yesterday. These things eat the time that learning was going to happen in. By the time the crisis passes, the window has closed. Again.

The gap between where you are and where the leading edge is gets a little wider, every month.

TIC is the answer to that problem. We do the tracking. We do the distilling. You get the output, and the confidence that comes with it.
