Abstract: Shaping the Future of Augmented Analytics

With the rise of self-service analytics, there is a need for intuitive data preparation tools that are accessible to users at all skill levels. IBM Cognos Analytics has started to leverage augmented intelligence to accelerate data preparation, allowing users to get to insights and outcomes more quickly. To successfully design for this experience, understanding user needs, workflows and priorities is key. Help us envision the future of analytics by joining this interactive design session, where you'll provide live feedback as you are guided through a scenario. The goal of this session is to understand how you see augmented intelligence becoming a part of your analytics workflow.
