As data enthusiasts and solution designers, Hassett Willis and Company (HWC) has introduced Tableau across multiple agencies within the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to insert business intelligence into emergency management and public health preparedness decision-making processes. In just a few years, the HWC team has matured capabilities for grants management; created predictive modeling tools to support natural disaster planning and response efforts; analyzed data to inform policy decisions and strategic initiatives; and improved the operational capabilities for one of the nation's front line counter-terrorist surveillance programs.

While Tableau is used to effectively communicate data findings in beautiful and impactful ways, it is also extremely valuable in identifying and informing clients of potential data capture, integrity, and governance concerns which ultimately impact our ability to derive meaningful and accurate results from the data. By helping to uncover these gaps and more, the team is able to focus efforts on maturing the organizations' processes and tool-based solutions, making business intelligence efforts more efficient and effective. As part of the session, there will be live demonstration of methodologies for exploring data gap and integrity issues and share experiences in evolving business intelligence initiatives that have a direct impact on our Nation's security and ability to prepare for and respond to disasters.
