We all know that a great Power BI dashboard is more than just a collection of technical features and data visualizations. At its core, a dashboard is a tool for communicating insights and driving action. And to do that effectively, we need to understand not just the data we're presenting, but also the people who will be using our dashboards. That's where the soft side of dashboards comes in. By focusing on empathy and creativity, we can create dashboards that not only look great, but also resonate with our stakeholders and drive meaningful business outcomes. In this session, we'll explore how to cultivate these soft skills to design better Power BI dashboards and deliver value to our clients and stakeholders.
In this session, we'll explore how empathy can be a powerful tool for driving better dashboard design. By putting ourselves in the shoes of our stakeholders and understanding their needs, concerns, and pain points, we can create more impactful and user-friendly dashboards that deliver insights and drive action. We'll also discuss how to cultivate creativity as a skill, and how to overcome common barriers to creativity such as self-doubt and fear of failure. Additionally, we'll explore how to communicate effectively with clients and stakeholders, and how to ask critical questions to get the information needed to design effective dashboards. Through interactive exercises, attendees will leave with practical strategies for leveraging empathy and creativity to design better Power BI dashboards that deliver value to clients and stakeholders.
