Event Description
Power BI reports help you tell great stories by making your organization’s data visible and real. Visio diagrams help you communicate more effectively by providing visual representations of the real world and by depicting how things might look in the future. Too often, however, Power BI reports and Visio diagrams exist in isolation. What if you could combine the data connectivity and visualizations of Power BI (PBI) with the graphical context of a Visio diagram?

In this demo-filled session you’ll see a variety of use cases such as: empowering facility managers with data-driven floor plans; using HR data and an org chart to locate employees with specific skills or training; and leveraging inventory and sales data to adjust retail store layout. You’ll discover how easy it is to accomplish all of this using a web browser, which means you can create this magic on a Mac, a PC, or a tablet.

Key Learnings
  • Present data in context to generate insight
  • Empower decision makers with actionable data
  • Leverage software tools that are readily available
 
 
Speaker Bio: Scott Helmers
Scott Helmers is a business process consultant, data visualizer, app designer, and trainer with the Harvard Computing Group. He is a co-inventor of TaskMap (TaskMap.com), a Visio add-in that allows anyone to create data-rich, easy-to-read maps of any business process.

For more than 15 years Scott has been the best-selling author of books about Microsoft Visio and has been named an MVP for Visio by Microsoft every year since 2008, one of only six people in the world to hold that distinction. He has created popular Visio and Power BI courses for LinkedIn Learning (bit.ly/LILAuthor) and shares his Visio, data visualization, and business process knowledge at conferences around the world. When he’s not at his keyboard, you’re likely to find Scott on his bicycle or dabbling in community theater.
