0:02Salesforce, Tableau a Salesforce company.
0:04God, yeah, Tableau this year.
0:06Ooh, I wanna be careful here
0:10'cause I don't wanna annoy people,
0:11but I think I have to talk about it.
0:13Tableau has been a funny old company this
0:17year.
0:18First and foremost, I've just made that
0:20mistake there.
0:21I called Tableau a company.
0:22Tableau stopped being a company three years
0:25ago.
0:25It's a product.
0:26It's owned by Salesforce,
0:27and I keep making this mistake of referring
0:29to Tableau
0:30directly as if it exists, okay?
0:33It doesn't exist anymore.
0:35And actually I'd go as far as to say that
0:38there have been enough changes specifically
0:40this year
0:41to Tableau the product and the leadership
0:45team
0:45that pushed that product to pretty much
0:48justify
0:49just thinking of Tableau
0:51as being under new management wholesale.
0:53Now this has been happening over time.
0:55We went from Adam Salipsky to Mark.
1:00Then we had Ryan Stepin, Ryan A.T. Stepin.
1:05And that sort of quick succession of
1:08changes
1:09in basically three years,
1:10three CEOs in as many years,
1:13actually less than that has meant a real
1:16sort of change.
1:17Now, I don't know if Tableau have,
1:19what is it like a leadership team,
1:23like products, partners, resources?
1:26Where is this?
1:27Do they have like a, oh, about Tableau
1:30mission.
1:31Let's go to the mission.
1:35Does it have a leadership team page?
1:40They used to have one.
1:41Maybe we don't have one anymore.
1:44Is that really true?
1:46Am I missing something?
1:48So products, solutions, resources, partners
1:52, okay.
1:53About Tableau, awards recognition, careers.
1:57Let's do this instead.
1:59Let's do this, press at Tableau.
2:02I think this will take me to Salesforce
2:07page.
2:07So if I go to the press releases,
2:11and I go to the slug, does it tell me?
2:16Yeah, if I go to the about page,
2:18I can't believe this is how I'm doing it.
2:21Yeah, I don't know where it is.
2:23It used to be much easier than this.
2:25Anyway, the Tableau leadership team
2:27is pretty much entirely new.
2:30You can see how difficult it was to find it
2:34.
2:34Maybe, why am I giving up on this?
2:36Let's call Salesforce leadership team.
2:41Let's go, let's actually start making the
2:44mistake
2:44I've been making.
2:45Let's go to the Salesforce page.
2:47Look at the leadership team.
2:49You can see I'm clearly struggling with
2:51this.
2:51So this is the Salesforce leadership team.
2:55Okay, they don't have Salesforce companies.
3:00God, this is so tough.
3:07Let's go to Tableau.
3:09No, this takes me to a Tableau page inside
3:17of Salesforce.
3:18Very subtle.
3:20And about Salesforce, no, I cannot find it.
3:24I don't know if it's me being an idiot.
3:27If you're watching this on YouTube
3:28and you know where I'm supposed to go
3:31to find the leadership team from Tableau,
3:33let me know, 'cause I can't find it.
3:35It used to be easy to find.
3:38When Mark Nelson or Adam Silebski was CEO,
3:41you could just, it was literally a couple
3:43of clicks
3:43and I could have found it.
3:45I just can't find it.
3:47I found the Salesforce team,
3:48but what we don't see is like the,
3:50I was hoping to find the teams at each
3:53organization.
3:55Our values about Salesforce, leadership.
4:02Nevermind, this is becoming incredibly
4:08boring now.
4:09This takes you to this and it's not done
4:13here.
4:16Careers, no.
4:18Contact us, is there something here?
4:23No, technical support, headquarters,
4:28but nothing about the leadership team.
4:31Okay, very strange.
4:34Anyway, Tableau, Salesforce company.
4:37I've been making a mistake this year.
4:39I need to make it less.
4:40We're gonna start referring to Tableau as
4:42Salesforce.
4:43Tableau does not exist, it's a product.
4:45So Tableau can't make decisions
4:47because it's a brand and the product.
4:49Keep making this mistake.
4:51It's a bit like saying Coca-Cola the
4:54company
4:55versus Coke the drink.
4:56You can't sort of critique the drink.
4:59Drink is not running its own business.
5:01It's run by the people who run Coke.
5:03A better example would have been to say
5:05Sprite.
5:06Okay, so Sprite is owned by Coca-Cola.
5:09To critique the Sprite leadership team
5:12means you're critiquing the Coca-Cola
5:13leadership team.
5:14So I need to stop talking about Tableau
5:18and focus more on Salesforce.
5:20I think this year more than anything
5:22has been one of those years.
5:23(silence)
