Tableau Desktop - Leader of the pack
Group strategy & analytics, business on-boarding, workforce management, digital drivers, capacity creation.
I have no idea how widespread its usage is. I do know that it is used as a teaching tool inside several departments in the College of Business. In addition, a number of users in administration and other colleges use it for both teaching, research and administrative functions. There is some discussion of an internal user group but nothing has gelled so far.
