Classifying Users for Self-Service Analytics Success

Self-service analytics requires a nuanced approach to cater to individual roles and preferences. A key insight is the necessity to classify users into groups based on their data consumption and production behaviors. Casual users, constituting about 60% of data users, prefer tailored content for decision-making. In contrast, power users, a smaller group but influential in data strategies, heavily rely on self-service tools for in-depth analysis and modeling.
