This document discusses the evolution of business intelligence (BI) and analytics. It describes how BI has transitioned from using limited, pre-selected data sources to providing access to all organizational data. It also discusses how analytics have become more democratic and self-service oriented, empowering a new role of "citizen data scientist" to perform their own analytics. The document advocates challenging staff to use new BI tools over three weeks to uncover insights from all available data sources.
