Welcome to another exciting masterclass, taking you behind the scenes of how two female leaders on our BI Brainz team created not one, but two of our most downloaded database templates ever! Sharing these juicy details, will be Raquel Seville, CEO of the BI Brainz Caribbean office, and Anna Ria, our very own Head of Design and well-known BI Data Accelerator trainer. In this episode, you’ll hear from Raquel as she explains how she used our BI Data storytelling framework to transform a 271-page annual report into a simple, insightful BI Dashboard that got a thumbs up from the company’s CEO on social media. Today, it has been downloaded hundreds of times and, during the course of this episode, you’ll find out how to get your own free copy. We’ll also talk about how Raquel overcame receiving little to no input from the company on the look, metrics, or goals. Then, we jump into part two with Anna, where she shares the unique inspiration behind our now-famous Analytics Design Guide and why she believes it became one of the most downloaded templates in BI Brainz history, being downloaded over 600 times in the first 48 hours! She also provides some knowledge-bomb-galore advice for any seasoned or new database designer that wants to take their data biz to the next level in any Power BI tool. Last but not least, I will tell you how to get your own copy of both these dynamic Power BI templates and the free 55-page Analytics Design Guide, which we continue to update annually, as well as so much more.
