Why is governance in Power BI so important?
a close up of a white arrow pointing to the right

Neglecting Data Governance is like skipping leg day at the gym — it weakens your foundation. Good governance ensures that data in Power BI is accurate, consistent, and reliable. It makes sure all features and processes are set up to protect sensitive data and comply with regulatory standards. It establishes clear roles and creates a secure environment with the right guardrails, empowering users to operate effectively and maximise the tool's value for the organisation.

What areas do you focus on as part of the Power BI assessment?
a close up of a white arrow pointing to the right

We cover all relevant governance areas, including structuring the Power BI architecture, framework (workspaces, apps, audiences), security, rollout approach for self-service enablement, establishing a centre of excellence, internal community and portal, licensing model, processes, change management, and more.

Are the governance tiers provided customisable?
a close up of a white arrow pointing to the right

Absolutely! During our initial free consultation, we discuss your current challenges and tailor the approach to meet your specific needs.

What is the key difference between the tiers?
a close up of a white arrow pointing to the right

The primary difference is the time spent on the project. More time allows for more comprehensive solutions. However, significant value can be gained from all tiers, whether it's a 6-day or a 30-day engagement.

What are the deliverables of the governance assessment?
a close up of a white arrow pointing to the right

The core deliverables include bespoke recommendations and a roadmap. Initially, we focus on these assessments, but we can also implement various aspects of the recommendations based on your needs.

How is your governance approach tailored to different organisations?
a close up of a white arrow pointing to the right

With experience from a consultancy background, I've worked with clients from all industries, understanding their unique challenges. While many elements of Power BI governance are transferable, my approach is tailored to address the specific needs of each organisation.

Is it only recommendations, or does it include implementation?
a close up of a white arrow pointing to the right

We can do both! The scope depends on the time we have together, allowing for both detailed recommendations and implementation support.

If we choose, can we implement the recommendations ourselves?
a close up of a white arrow pointing to the right

Yes! You will receive bespoke recommendations and a well-defined roadmap. You have the flexibility to choose who will implement these recommendations and when it will be done.

Do I really need help with governance?
a close up of a white arrow pointing to the right

If you are in the process of using Power BI and rolling it out to your organisation, I highly recommend at minimum reading the MS Fabric Adoption Roadmap. It’s crucial to consider how you set up the Power BI tenancy, manage all the artifacts within it, and how people will utilise them. However, I love talking about Power BI, and I always say if something can be solved with an hour's call instead of initiating a project, let's stick to that. So, feel free to reach out with any questions.
