Key Takeaways

"You need to guide people through their own thought process. You need to understand what they do, why they do it, and then build this into the report. It's sort of one application that can answer not only the big question, but really drill down into the details and find specific and detailed answers to whatever questions they might have." – Pascal Kiefer

"As Power BI has matured and a lot more enterprise features have been implemented into it. I feel like the maturity of a company strategy around Power BI has had to keep up and has maybe lagged quite a lot. The strategy pace of how you actually deploy an overall implementation of Power BI has become more relevant than it has ever before." – Sam McKay
