I'm setting myself a challenge!

Over the coming weeks, I want to create at least 50 illustrations that capture the kinds of situations that slow organizations down.

The frustrating, messy, sometimes seemingly unsolvable situations that block processes, teams, learning, and decision-making.

Often, these problems are rooted in poor data, unclear processes, weak methods, or unhelpful behaviors.

Each illustration will represent one specific situation.

The goal is to bring all 50 illustrations together into a single visual that maps the most common situations teams face in their day-to-day work.

These situations may be:

  • Technical
  • Conceptual
  • Human
  • Organizational
  • Communication-related
  • Product-related
  • Analytics and data visualization-related

The idea is also to work within a highly constrained visual format so that all illustrations can fit together on a single page.

I already have many ideas in mind.

But if there is a situation in your organization that is slowing you down, creating friction, or making you lose your patience, feel free to send it to me.

It could be related to your manager, your team, the business, the data, or simply the way work gets done.

I'd be happy to turn it into an illustration.

My hope is that you'll be able to share one of these visuals with a colleague, or place it in the middle of a meeting, to help everyone around the table recognize that the situation is real, well known, and solvable.

Sometimes, putting a name and an image on a problem is the first step toward fixing it.

At the end of this month, I'll also be speaking at the ADEO x Decathlon Data Summit in northern France about how to create, maintain, and evolve a Data Design Process within an Analytics Operating Model.

If you'll be there, feel free to send me a message.

It would be a pleasure to meet and have a coffee.

Between excitement and skepticism, where is BI really heading?
Hi everyone, Recently, I've seen large retail organizations planning to reduce their dashboard portfolios by 80% to 90% And that's just one of the changes I'm witnessing in the analytics industry. With AI agents, conversational analytics, we're entering a new era. Dashboards aren't disappearing. But how we build them, who owns them, and how users interact with data are changing fast. In my lat...

The Analytics Design Process cards are officially live!
After launching the beta to the waiting list and gathering feedback from several users, I've improved the Miro boards, iterated on the cards, and created a new PDF welcome page to help you choose the right Miro board based on what you want to achieve. There's still quite a bit of work ahead, but I think it's already in a great place for the official launch! The 33 cards and the interactive Mir...
