Federal mandates that call for agencies to modernize and leverage data have ushered in a new era of accountability and action. But how do agency leaders build organizations that deliver on their mission and also comply with the President’s Management Agenda and policies like the Federal Data Strategy, OPEN Data Act and others? The mandates might be clear, but the path to success is not.

Tableau’s Government Leadership Forum is where you’ll learn how to make sense of the policies and lead with a data-driven approach. You will leave with a deeper understanding of how your peers are using data and modern analytics platforms like Tableau to:
- Deliver on their mission goals and objectives
- Improve citizen engagement and the citizen experience
- Create evidence-based policy with data
- Build and nurture a culture of analytics
