Engagements Scoped Around Three Problems
Or a combination — most BI engagements touch platform, reporting, and strategy at once.
Pillar 01
Data Platform
For companies with fragmented reporting tools, high BI licensing costs, slow dashboards, no clear platform owner.
What I Do
- Power BI and Microsoft Fabric implementation and migration
- Licensing and capacity cost optimization (e.g., PPU → Fabric capacity moves)
- Semantic model architecture and performance tuning
- Integration with SQL, dbt, Databricks, BigQuery/ClickHouse pipelines
Typical Outcome
Lower platform cost, faster refresh times, one governed source of truth instead of parallel spreadsheets.
Pillar 02
Reporting & BI
For companies with dashboards nobody trusts, inconsistent KPI definitions, reporting that takes days to update, no self-service culture.
What I Do
- Dashboard and semantic model builds (Power BI, DAX, Power Query)
- KPI framework design and IBCS-standard report layouts
- Self-service enablement: training, documentation, best-practice forums
- Dashboard audits and rationalization (cutting duplicate/unused reports)
Typical Outcome
Dashboards leadership actually opens, consistent numbers across teams, reduced ad-hoc reporting requests.
Pillar 03
Data Strategy
For companies with no governance layer, no forecasting capability, BI treated as an IT ticket queue instead of a strategic function.
What I Do
- Data governance frameworks: validation, lineage, access control
- Scenario-based forecasting and predictive models (demand, pricing, spend allocation)
- BI roadmap and capability-building for internal teams
- Fractional/interim BI leadership for teams without a full-time lead
Typical Outcome
Forecasts and KPIs leadership uses in actual budget/board decisions, a BI function that scales without you.
04 / How We'd Work Together
Engagement Models
Fixed-Scope Project
A defined deliverable with a clear start and end — e.g., a platform migration or a dashboard build.
Day-Rate / Time & Materials
For ongoing or exploratory work where scope evolves as we learn more about the problem.
Fractional BI Lead
Recurring days per month, embedded with your team — BI leadership without a full-time hire.
