Power BI is a multi-faceted technology “wave” that can be thought of as “Business Intelligence finally becoming accessible.” But we think it is also VERY useful to view it as “a revolution in Excel’s analysis and reporting capabilities.”
Either way though, once armed with its industrial-strength depth, you will conquer an unlimited spectrum of analytical, reporting and modeling needs. We repeatedly see dramatically improved productivity, efficiency, and profitability within a matter of days.
In this full-day session, Rob Collie and Avi Singh have filtered their many years of “Modern Excel” and Power BI education, writing, and consulting experience down to the things anyone can learn AND retain in a short period of time, while simultaneously building a confident foundation for future learning. Together you will take a 100% human and pragmatic approach.
Their recipe, geared toward absolute beginners, will give you analytical superpowers, broken into five easy-to-follow segments:
1. Roadmap – we will literally give you maps that demystify Microsoft’s rapidly-evolving offerings in this space.
2. Fundamentals – short and simple, these fit onto a single 6-step flowchart (provided).
3. Patterns – “recipes” that you can easily follow and modify to solve business problems, without requiring PhD-level mastery.
4. Priorities – Focused on the capabilities that are most “bang for the buck.” Avoids topics that are too complex or too “niche.”
5. Examples – no reference guide beats a working example that you can revisit when needed. Each student takes home dozens of working examples.
The only prerequisite is to enjoy data. Join us for the revolution.
