Designing business solutions to support strategic decisions — that's how Möbius Business Redesign, a management consulting firm, helps organizations. They have expertise in operational excellence, customer experience, sustainability, analytics, and much more. Microsoft Power BI is often the tool of choice for giving their clients clear insights in their dashboard. That's why they were interested in a Power BI day organized by Xylos.

The Xylos Power BI day is an online training event, usually consisting of three tracks representing different levels: beginner, intermediate, and advanced. Each track consisted of four sessions packed with useful content. After an introductory Power BI training at Möbius, some employees wanted to expand their practical knowledge by taking part in intermediate-level sessions.

Julien Braekevelt shares his experience: "What we do at Möbius is very varied. A colleague of mine who attended this Power BI day works closely with several hospitals to refine their visual reporting and cost model with Power BI. In my work, I try to help organizations continuously optimize their processes. Ultimately, my goal is to help them improve the customer experience they offer. That's why visualizing the best insights as clearly as possible is truly valuable. I found that the intermediate-level Power BI sessions with Xylos really met my needs."

Julien was more than satisfied with the sessions. Besides the content on Power Query, modeling, reporting, and calculations, he appreciated the use of practical examples and the high level of interactivity between the trainer and the participants.

"The trainer distilled twenty years of experience into a one-day session. And he managed to lock in all that knowledge in an almost magical way by giving participants the chance to bring in our own use cases. It was impressive to see how he kept coming up with such simple solutions. Thanks to a combination of his expertise and charm, he managed to keep the audience engaged all day long," says Julien.

Participants also found it especially useful to get access to the recordings of both their own sessions and those of the beginner and advanced tracks. "It was really useful to be able to go back over certain steps. Especially for Power Query, I feel that if I master the key steps in setting up dashboards, I can prevent problems later on. It was also rewarding to make some of my dashboards more dynamic, and even to help a few colleagues thanks to the practical knowledge I picked up. For example, I used the recording to explain how to pull data from a website and use it in a dashboard," Julien concludes.
