About this episode
Self-service BI promised to democratize data, but did it ever truly deliver?
In this episode, we explore what self-service business intelligence could have been, why it struggled, and where it might actually work today. From the early days of Power BI as a "souped-up spreadsheet" to the rise of agents, context engineering, and lightweight tools, we unpack the real reasons behind BI’s evolution and where it’s heading next.
This is for analysts, builders, and data professionals asking: what’s the real path forward for empowered decision-making?
