This led to the merger of physical and cyber worlds and as a result of this merger, big data is being generated due to recordings coming from sensors, machines, and people directly into computers. This is really important data that serves as a source of information for the organization. At the same time, it requires a large storage capacity and information security protocols to make it an asset for the organization. Below it is elaborated that how Power BI can act as a modern resource to support fact-based decision making, predictive analytics, and effective planning along with some benefits of data analytics<img src="https://bilalconsultancy.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/image.png" alt="" style="width: 342px; height: 242.973px; cursor: pointer; justify-content: center;" srcset="https://bilalconsultancy.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/image.png 335w, https://bilalconsultancy.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/image-300x212.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 335px) 100vw, 335px" width="335" height="237" decoding="async" class="wp-image-2287 entered litespeed-loaded" draggable="true">1. Microsoft Power BI – Solution for Big DataMicrosoft has realized the need to handle this large quantity, variety, and velocity of data. This relatively new and advanced data analytics tool is handy with offline and online services. One can use both in combination or only desktop free version as per the need. It can handle big data which usually cannot be handled by any other conventional software. Similarly, it provides real-time data connection and updates which is a first-of-its-kind service by any solution. However, this requires some best Power BI Training so that organizations can take benefits of data analytics. It is suggested that in addition to physical training there must be some online Power BI training materials accessible to those who want to learn and apply it on the job. Without a solution like Power BI, there is no way an organization can take real benefit of their data and use it for decision making. So, Power BI is a modern solution for big data.2. Transition from conventional market research to real-time data experimentation.In this digital era, it’s high time to transition from conventional consumer research to real-time consumer data experimentation. By leveraging tools like Microsoft Power BI, organizations can connect to real-time data sources and change some input variables at the specified scope to see the response. The confirmed response for the consumer market can be recorded and the action plan can be implemented on that scope and after that pilot, the solutions can be replicated to complete the market.3. Monitoring performance parametersInsight on real-time information on performance parameters like sales, cost &amp; defects, or losses can also be recorded and monitored by using Power BI. It helps to close the knowledge gap between various value chain facets and use real-time data for planning and decision making. In this way, you will be able to forecast better, optimize cost, reduce inventories, and enhance the overall performance and profitability of the organization.4. Forecasting and PlanningPower BI helps organizations to be agile and responsive to the changing market and environmental situations. With efficient analysis and effective visibility, organizations can build insights and make accurate forecasts so that they can respond better and quickly as compared to competitors. The organizations and people with Power BI competencies gain a competitive advantage over others due to this ability to respond quickly to the ever-changing customer needs. Here the example of Zara (apparel retailer brand) is suitable that they can provide a new product based on customer demand within two weeks’ time in the market.5. Value Creation through dataData analytics through Power BI can really create value in an organization. Data can be presented in the easiest way by building a story from data that is easy to understand for people at different levels of the organization. A story is more memorable with some emotional touch that drives action and behaviors. So, the generation of action in response to a story build using Power BI will be effective as it would be based on factual data and will create value for the organization.<img src="https://bilalconsultancy.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/image-1.png" alt="" style="width: 339px; height: 200.119px; cursor: pointer; justify-content: center;" srcset="https://bilalconsultancy.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/image-1.png 310w, https://bilalconsultancy.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/image-1-300x176.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 310px) 100vw, 310px" width="310" height="182" decoding="async" class="wp-image-2288 entered litespeed-loaded" draggable="true">6. Balance between forwarding and backward-looking approachIt has been experienced that most of the time organizations are using data for different projects and audits to evaluate what went wrong in the past, it is the backward-looking approach. However, using data as a part of ways of working and for predictive analysis can be more effective to drive performance. Power BI provides us this opportunity to use data for the future as well as we can use pre-existing data to analyze, evaluate and build insight to take effective decisions. Hence, one can create balance in data usage for past and for future by leveraging tools like Power BI<img src="https://bilalconsultancy.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/image-2.png" alt="" style="width: 358px; height: 268.766px; cursor: pointer; justify-content: center;" srcset="https://bilalconsultancy.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/image-2.png 337w, https://bilalconsultancy.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/image-2-300x225.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 337px) 100vw, 337px" width="337" height="253" decoding="async" class="wp-image-2289 entered litespeed-loaded" draggable="true">7. Generate stories from your dataPower BI helps you create stories from the raw data by diving deep to the extent to find an aha moment then give some emotional touch in presenting that data it will become a story that lasts longer and is easier to understand for the audience. This drives behaviors to take some action leading to a change in the status quo. This results in improvement of the existing process8. Power Bi Paginated ReportsYet another advancement in Power BI is the paginated reports. In this tool, all the repetitive work is eliminated. We create a design of report as per business need once and then machine do rest of all tasks. You may get the hourly, daily, weekly updated report right into the inbox of all your team members anywhere. It automatically takes the required data updates it into the designed format and sends it to the team allocated. &nbsp;&nbsp;To cap it all, the organizations need to employ a context that creates a culture of trust, support &amp; motivation leveraging the available data as an asset. The organizations should have performance dashboards based on the balanced scorecards in alignment with organizational goals. An information management system should be in place that ensures the alignment between business processes and changing customer needs.ConclusionTaking into account the advanced data analytics attributes escalating at the global level, feel free to check out our advanced Power BI course at: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://academy.bilalconsultancy.uk/courses/certified-powerbi-professional">https://academy.bilalconsultancy.uk/courses/certified-powerbi-professional</a>AuthorMr. Sohail Nadeem is acting as an Independent Consultant.Business Excellence Professional, certified trainer and coach with 10 years of multinational industry experience in leading and deploying business excellence initiatives and continuous improvement programsBeing a Lean Six Sigma Black Belt he attained saving of 2.1 billion in cost reduction at Nestle Pakistan &amp; deployed 100 DMAIC projects for which his story has been published by Nestle Switzerland under the domain of “Lean Initiatives”.Mr. Sohail has tremendous experience in the diversified field ranging from Lean management to advanced data analysis
