A few days ago, Daren my boss and CTO of Domo called an afternoon meeting with all of his directs. This is not an uncommon event but this meeting had a twist. Daren had just returned from a business trip in New York where he had also squeezed in a visit to his beloved Yankee stadium. The twist is that in our meeting that day he was actually still carrying a Yankees baseball bat…

Needless to say his message was delivered with rapt attention from the team and there was not a lot of discussion. I mean who is going to engage in lively debate with a boss carrying a baseball bat? We definitely were paying more attention than usual that afternoon to Daren’s “hit” list of issues. So what does all of this have to do with BI. Well, the image you chose to associate with the data can really help you hit a home run with the message you are trying to convey.
