About Perceptive Data

Tableau Consulting

 

Our Story

From IT to Education to Tableau Consultancy

I’m Grant Henderson, and I founded Perceptive Data in 2018 to help business and organisations make better use of their data, primarily through my all-time favourite software solution, Tableau.

Before founding Perceptive Data, I was a qualified IT professional with a diverse career spanning enterprise consulting, education, and data analytics. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Information Technology, with a career beginning working with major clients as a consultant at IBM.

Later, driven by a passion for people and communication, I transitioned into secondary education, honing my skills in teaching, listening, and guiding others that would later prove invaluable in the data space.

The turning point came at Federation University Australia, where I led data analysis and visualisation for the university’s Student Retention and Success project. It was there I discovered Tableau and saw the true potential of data visualisation to tell powerful, actionable stories.

I founded Perceptive Data to combine these technical, educational and consultancy skills, to help organisations turn complex data into clear, compelling insights.

Our Values

Everything we do at Perceptive Data is grounded in four key principles:

  • Integrity – Honest advice and transparent communication

  • Trust – Building long-term, collaborative relationships

  • Excellence – High standards in both design and delivery

  • Collaboration – Working with clients, not just for them

How We Work

My background in education shapes the way we engage with clients.

We start by listening, to understand the people behind the data, and tailor solutions that meet both technical requirements and human needs.

We design dashboards and reports that people actually use, because they’re:

  • Built for the audience

  • Embedded in the client’s context

  • Backed by experience and communication

Whether we’re guiding your first Tableau deployment or refining existing data assets, our approach is personable and outcome focused
