Stop Creating Standard Reports: Build Dashboards that Drive Action

Most reports look impressive at first glance, but fail to answer the only questions that truly matter:

  • Is the performance good or bad?
  • Do I need to act?
  • Why is this happening?
  • What should we do about it?

In this exclusive webinar with our Dutch partner Minova, you’ll discover how to transform static, confusing reports into clear, actionable dashboards that empower better, faster decisions. Learn how applying IBCS standards, proven design principles, and Zebra BI’s visuals turns raw numbers into stories your business can act on.

You'll learn:
Why traditional reports fall short and how to fix them
The role of IBCS standards in creating consistency and clarity
How to use pre-attentive attributes & Gestalt principles to guide attention
How to bring context into your dashboards so they answer business-critical questions
A live demo of Zebra BI in action

Still Waiting for Your Dashboard to Load?

Traditional business reports often fail because they lack standardization, clarity, and context. Numbers are presented without meaning, leaving decision-makers unsure whether performance is good or bad or whether they need to take action. Without a clear story, data becomes noise.

In this session, our Dutch partner Marnix Jansen from Minova will demonstrate how to transition from static reporting to actionable dashboards. By combining IBCS standards with Zebra BI’s visuals, you’ll learn how to apply proven techniques such as pre-attentive attributes, Gestalt principles, and storytelling with data. These methods ensure your dashboards highlight what really matters, unify reporting across teams, and promote decisive action.

Whether you work in finance, operations, or business intelligence, this webinar will give you practical tools to standardize your reporting, simplify complex insights, and turn your dashboards into a catalyst for better decisions. The session is especially relevant for companies in the Netherlands and the wider Benelux region, where the demand for clear, actionable reporting is rapidly growing.

Who should attend

  • BI analysts & Power BI developers looking to elevate reporting

  • Finance and FP&A professionals responsible for decision-ready insights

  • Business leaders and managers in the Netherlands and Benelux region who want dashboards that drive action, not just display data

Our financial landing page at KPN is completely based on the sales dashboard template. We also use a copy of the consolidated financials. The templates of Zebra BI are providing us with a lot of inspiration, and we don't "need to invent the wheel" again 😉

An amazing visual for finance. It has a lot of possibilities such as analytic periods, variances, or custom hierarchies for your income statement. 100% advisable.

I've recently been experimenting with Zebra BI's custom Table visual, which is like the native Power BI matrix on steroids. If your work allows for the use of custom visuals, I think it's definitely worth checking out. Planning on doing a video on it soon...

I had a phone interview for a #PowerBI contract, where the interviewer said of the sample dashboards in my CV: "Great...I see you use @ZebraBI!" How cool is that? And they mentioned my top-secret passphrase on the call: "Actionable Insight". I'm in.

The reusable trick of switch I think is brilliant! And obviously, Zebra BI table replaces any other table now in Power bi. RIP to normal tables!

This visual from Zebra BI enables you to build stunning P&L, CF, and BS statements with complex structures with ease. Very intuitive for developers and users. In my opinion the best solution for Financial Reporting structures. 11 Stars!

As you say, Andrej Lapajne, we spent A LOT, searching and explaining how to do Comments, with Power Apps, and also with the help of Excel. They were workarounds!!! No doubt...this is awesome and the simple way to go forward.
