    Bridging the gap between IT and business users in BI is all about creating a shared understanding. I focus on simplifying technical jargon for business teams, while helping IT see the real-world impact of their work. Regular, open communication and collaborative goal-setting are key to making sure everyone is moving in the same direction. When both sides feel valued, BI initiatives become a true partnership. How do you bring IT and business together for BI success? 🤝📊
