The Best Kept Secret for Better Power BI Dashboards

What’s the best-kept secret to building better Power BI Dashboards? You’ll find out at the last online event of the month with our partners Rockfeather.

It’s important that each report answers all four of the basic questions:

• Is my performance good or bad?
• How good / how bad?
• Why is my performance as it is?
• What are we going to do about it?

Andrej Lapajne will show you how to use the International Business Communication Standards (IBCS) to help you answer these questions. Did you know he is also one of the founding members of the IBCS Association?

Join us on Thursday, 28 January at 11:30 AM.

P.S.: Rockfeather is even giving out signed copies of the book Solid, Outlined, Hatched signed by IBCS co-founder Jürgen Faisst to selected registered participants.
