Questions, answered
What leaders ask us about analytics and BI.
What does a BI consulting engagement deliver? +
Governed dashboards built on a curated Bronze/Silver/Gold data
foundation, a KPI framework the business agreed to before the first
visual was built, and an enablement program so your own team can
extend it. At a $40B supplier we converted all Excel reporting to
governed Power BI, and at a $1.2B healthcare franchise dashboard
on-time refresh improved from 72% to 95%+.
Why don't people trust our dashboards? +
Because every department calculates its own version of the truth,
KPIs mean different things in each region, and refreshes fail
silently. Trust comes back when one governed source of truth feeds
certified data products, and quality scores are visible to the
people consuming the numbers.
Power BI or Tableau, does the tool matter? +
Less than you think. Governance matters more than tooling: a governed
source of truth, agreed KPI definitions, and certified data products
make either platform trustworthy, and neither works without them.
We're certified in both, so the recommendation follows your
organization, not our preference.
How long until we see working dashboards? +
Faster than a big-bang platform program. We sequence the
highest-value use cases first and ship working dashboards while the
Bronze/Silver/Gold foundation is built underneath them. The pace
depends on the state of your source data, which is exactly what we
assess in the first conversation.
