A second approach is less carrot-y but has a greater potential for success: actions and decisions into the standard process for maintaining access to the analytics environment.
Require that user access to the analytical environment be renewed every couple of months. Provide the details of their resource consumption during that period and use the collected business actions and decisions as justification.
Quarterly seems to be a good compromise greece whatsapp number data between intruding on every query and waiting so long the users have forgotten what they’ve done.
Even if the answer is “I gave the results to my manager,” that’s fine. Follow up by asking, “What did the manager do with the results?” It will take some hand-holding at first, but eventually, they’ll get the hang of it and follow the trail themselves.
And putting just a period in the blank doesn’t cut it. If they’re not using the resource, cannot articulate what they did with the results, or didn’t do anything with the results, then their access should be deactivated. A new justification will be required to reestablish it. After all, the company is making an investment in their analytics environment access and it is reasonable to expect a return.
With support and discipline (and some process automation to make it easier for everyone involved), this will become standard operating procedure. Users will become accustomed to thinking about actions and decisions. And telling you about them.
