All too often, they fall somewhere between messy spreadsheets and dashboards, full of poorly labeled and inappropriate charts, that simply do not get the message across to decision makers.
Countless reports and presentations are created throughout organizations daily, all in different formats, lengths, shapes, and colors, depending on personal preferences of the person who prepares them.
The result? Managers are not making their way through the data presented and stakeholders are failing to make important decisions.
Solution? Companies like Coca-Cola, Swarovski, Roche, Bayer, and Philips have redesigned their financial reports according to the IBCS (International Business Communication Standards).
Join our workshop to learn the best-practice reporting in Excel.

"As a business intelligence professional, it was a really great learning experience to take part in the McKinsey Seminar & IBCS Reporting/Dashboard Training in NYC hosted by Andrej Lapajne. Andrej’s passion for the language of data visualization and its capabilities in the business environment was apparent. Learning IBCS and how it can improve reporting and presentation functions really made sense.
But, more importantly, the training centered around communicating data so the recipient(s) spend less time interpreting multiple visual formats. Combined with Zebra BI’s reporting functions, these tools can circumvent much of the headache involved when trying to create and communicate complex business data. Zebra BI will save me time and I’m eager to get started!"
"The Designing Reports Seminar with Andrej Lapajne far exceeded my expectations. I walked in expecting to learn a trick or two about Excel reporting. I walked away with a robust framework on financial reporting that is incredibly logical and applicable to my everyday work. Andrej is a wonderful teacher who takes the time to explain concepts and, more importantly, apply them to the real world.
Immediately after the seminar, I had multiple ideas on how to apply the principles I learned in my job as a Finance Manager. I believe anyone interested in creating reports or presenting findings would benefit from Andrej's seminar.
Thank you, Andrej, for sharing all of your valuable knowledge."
"Andrej conducted trainings for 50 analysts and managers at Coca-Cola Icecek in 2014. With the help of his trainings and Zebra BI tool, we have been able to unify reports, presentations and dashboards across 10 countries within the Coca-Cola Icecek group.
Good before/after examples were the key to getting the IBCS Standards accepted on top management level. For us, this was a transformational experience!"
"I was very impressed by a Design Workshop for Excel conducted by Andrej. Often these kind of workshops can be tedious and unfocused, but this was not the case. It was very well organized and all participants found it very fruitful. This was mainly thanks to the professionalism and friendliness of Andrej.
I would recommend this to any company struggling with messy and inefficient reporting tools."
