The challenge
Executives waited until Friday to see weekly numbers compiled by an analyst from 4 systems. Decisions lagged by a full week and the analyst spent half their time formatting slides.
The approach
- 1Modeled the leadership KPI tree (revenue, pipeline, delivery, NPS, cash).
- 2Centralized data into Azure SQL and refreshed every 30 minutes.
- 3Designed an executive Power BI workspace with drill-through and mobile views.
- 4Set up subscription alerts so leaders were notified when KPIs moved.
The outcome
Leadership has live KPIs on their phones. The analyst recovered ~16 hours per month and decisions happen days earlier in the week.
