Andrzej Leszkiewicz will explain the International Business Communication Standards and introduce ISO 24896, Notation for business reporting (an ISO standard currently in development).

He will also show why implementing these standards in reports, dashboards, and presentations improves data understanding and supports data-driven business decisions.

This is a mostly non-technical session that answers key questions: why you need standards, how they work, and what the SUCCESS formula is (a set of seven core principles for designing clear, effective, and standardized business reports and presentations by focusing on message, consistency, density, integrity, visualization, clarity, and logic).

Although the session is non-technical, Andrzej will demonstrate practical examples and share resources for implementing IBCS-guided reporting in Power BI using core visuals and free, open-source code DAX UDF libraries. No custom visuals are required.

You will see how IBCS-guided charts embedded in the core Matrix visual help users familiar with Excel PivotTables (a lot of numbers, no charts) better understand data and recognize the benefits of Power BI, while also helping experienced Power BI users get as much as possible data understanding from core visuals.
