"We want a dedicated team for Power BI. Everyone else? View-only access."
At first glance, it seems like a streamlined approach, right? A specialised team to handle all reporting, leaving the rest of your organisation to focus on their core responsibilities.

Microsoft’s vision for Power BI is one of self-service Business Intelligence (BI) and BI for everyone - where every employee, regardless of their technical skillset, can engage with data. With advances in low-code capabilities and AI-powered insights, Power BI is no longer just a tool for the IT, data, or BI department.

What You Probably Don’t Know Yet:
So imagine, your entire organisation is equipped to handle their own reporting and data analysis. Employees aren’t waiting days, weeks, or even months for a simple report - they can dive into the data themselves, identify trends, and make decisions on the fly. Meanwhile, your BI team isn’t buried under routine data requests. Instead, they’re driving innovation and uncovering deeper insights that give your business the insights and growth it deserves.
Here’s how I and my team can help: We offer a 2-day Power BI training course that walks your team through Power BI from A to Z - empowering them to create, analyse, and share data across your organization. No more silos, no more bottlenecks. Just data-driven decision-making at every level.
Or, if you’re unsure about where to start with Power BI and/or Fabric, why not book a free strategy session? I’ll help you identify the gaps in your Power BI approach and show you exactly how to empower your entire organisation without overburdening your BI team.
Have any questions? Feel free to reach out - I’m just an email or Teams chat away.
