About this course

Part of our Microsoft Masters series. Kickstart is the session we point people to when they ask "should we be using Power BI?". It is an hour, it is free, and it is deliberately free of jargon.

We run it most months. If there is no date listed below, register interest and we will let you know the next one first.

In-house option

For a team of six or more we will run Kickstart privately, using an example from your industry, at no charge.

Outline

  1. 1What Power BI is, and how it fits with Excel and Microsoft 365
  2. 2A live walkthrough of a real small-business report
  3. 3The three questions to answer before any Power BI project
  4. 4Licensing in plain English. What is free, what costs, and what you probably already have
  5. 5Questions from attendees

Who it is for

  • Business owners and managers who have heard of Power BI but not used it
  • Finance and operations staff still reporting from spreadsheets
  • Anyone asked to "look into Power BI" for their organisation

Before you come

  • None. No software needed; the session runs on Microsoft Teams

What you leave with

  • A clear picture of whether Power BI is right for your business now
  • The questions to ask before buying anything or hiring anyone
  • A recording and the slides to share with colleagues

Dates
