Building a finance team that actually uses Power BI

Most BI rollouts die at the same point: the dashboard is beautiful, published, and used by nobody.

Start with one decision, not one dataset. Pick the weekly meeting where people argue about numbers and build the report that ends the argument.

Second, own the refresh. A dashboard that is stale twice becomes a dashboard nobody opens.

Third, train the readers, not only the builders. Fifteen minutes on how to filter and drill through converts passive viewers into daily users.

Fourth, retire the spreadsheet it replaces. Adoption is a subtraction exercise as much as an addition one.
