Visio Master Class

• How is your presentation relevant to the theme of this year’s BBC conference: Innovation in the Fast Lane?

The more you know about the key tools of the trade, the faster you can act and react to changes in your environment. The Visio Master Class will teach you about Visio capabilities that you never knew existed and will equip you to create data-driven diagrams. Note: This session features live demos throughout.

• What are your top tips for companies or employees wishing to innovate?

Visualize! Words are wonderful and appropriate for many purposes. However, diagrams can often convey more meaning, more quickly, and more effectively than text.

Drowning in Data? Create BI Dashboards With Software You Already Have

• How is your presentation relevant to the theme of this year’s BBC conference: Innovation in the Fast Lane?

Are you accumulating data at an astonishing rate? Do you need to analyze more data, more quickly than ever before? Learn techniques to turn any Visio diagram into a dashboard with near-real-time data analytics built in. No programming required – just point and click to build the dashboard. And if you need more power, you can integrate a Visio diagram into a PowerBI report. This session features live demos of these capabilities.

• What are your top tips for companies or employees wishing to innovate?

Don’t view metrics in a separate dashboard, view them in context. You will be able to make decisions and act more decisively when you turn commonly used diagrams like org charts, process maps, and floor plans into dynamic, data-connected dashboards.
