Session details
- Data-Driven Government: U.S. federal, state, and local agencies are rapidly adopting data-driven decision-making strategies. The Federal Data Strategy and the Evidence-Based Policymaking Act underscore the importance of leveraging tools like Power BI to drive transparency, accountability, and efficiency.
- Reduce Dependence on BI Teams: According to Gartner, by 2025, 80% of analytics will be performed by business users rather than dedicated data analysts. This shift makes Power BI proficiency a critical skill for professionals at all levels.
- Power BI’s Impact on Government: 90% of Fortune 500 companies and a growing number of U.S. government agencies use Power BI for reporting, analysis, and operational intelligence. Its ability to integrate real-time data across systems has made it a key asset for agencies managing complex programs.
- Self-Service Analytics for Agencies: Power BI allows agencies to democratize data access by enabling non-technical professionals to generate insights without relying on IT or BI teams. This enhances efficiency and enables faster decision-making.
- Move Beyond Static Reports: Instead of relying on Excel spreadsheets and outdated reporting systems, agencies can leverage Power BI to create interactive, real-time dashboards that improve communication with stakeholders and drive better policy decisions.
By attending this course, government professionals will gain the skills and confidence needed to harness the power of data and support agency objectives through actionable insights.
