Business analysis revolves around clear communication. And all of us work in a data-driven world. Consequently, if you can enhance your visual communication skills by turning data into actionable insights, you’ll be two steps ahead. That’s the purpose of this hands-on workshop: leverage commonly available tools – Visio and Power BI (PBI) – to provide actionable data visualizations for your team and leadership.

Bring a Mac or a PC because we’ll provide software licenses you can use in Safari, Chrome, Edge, or any browser.  You’ll visualize data in Visio organization charts, flowcharts, and other diagrams. And the culmination of the day will be learning enough about Power BI, and about the Visio Visual for Power BI, to create PBI reports that deliver data in the visual context of a diagram. The results are powerful, effective, and remarkably easy to create with the techniques you’ll learn in this workshop. Visio and Power BI experience are not required.
