PowerBi training – Successful and practical analytics expertise

Industry: Automotive | Period: 12 months | Team size: 2 consultants

The transformation to a data-driven organization requires specialist departments to be able to use reporting and analytics tools consistently, effectively and confidently. Especially when introducing a powerful tool such as PowerBi, it is crucial for success that all employees and managers are equally involved. Without targeted PowerBi training, potential in digital reporting and data analysis remains untapped, information gaps arise and valuable time is lost. We have designed the PowerBi training for our client with an individual mix of coaching, training and practical analytics topics – with the aim of achieving optimal learning success and creating a solid knowledge base for sustainable management and business analytics.

Challenge: No standardized reporting, lack of analytics expertise

Isolated solutions and rudimentary reporting: The specialist departments lacked a standardized analytics platform – data management and knowledge of PowerBi were patchy and information was spread across different applications.
Lack of experience with PowerBi: Without training, many employees only used basic functions, managers were unable to exploit the full potential of the digital tools; strategic business reporting fell short of the possibilities.
Unclear solutions to specific issues: Without professional coaching, there was a lack of support for individual problems in everyday life – productivity and acceptance in the team suffered noticeably.
Heterogeneous requirements & knowledge levels: Different analytics knowledge and business requirements made standards and systematic learning difficult.
Little sustainable support after the training: After traditional training courses, there was often a lack of contact persons for questions from the projects.

Success Journey: Three steps to sustainable PowerBi expertise

01

Individual needs analysis & conception of the training

Our experienced analytics coaches conducted interviews to determine the key topics and knowledge levels of the teams and managers.

This meant that every PowerBi training course could be tailored precisely to the real challenges and business topics.

02

Practice-oriented training & operational knowledge transfer

The PowerBi training included theory, data modeling and live demos with current company data - the focus was on learning through concrete use cases.

This meant that digital skills could be experienced immediately and management was able to draw direct added value from the workshop.

03

Sustainable coaching & support for open topics

After the training days, we established regular consultation hours in which employees and managers could clarify individual questions about PowerBi software, data analysis and business analytics directly with experts.

This ensures continuous learning even after the training and ensures sustainable success in everyday digital life.
