The book would provide a good introduction for newcomers to BI and for managers. I like the way she approaches projects by starting with the desired KPIs. What we find useful is mocking up some data with Excel or even Power BI Desktop to show users what we're talking about and to demonstrate the potential KPIs. I liked the way the book leaned into prescriptive analytics as well. This is an area that so many books ignore.

This series is designed for people who want to learn important workplace skills on their own.
Whether it's managing projects, creating strategies, or improving communication, these books break everything down step by step.
They're great for anyone who enjoys learning at their own pace and wants practical tips for career growth.
Like the author of this book, I have used BI tools for a large part of my career. While I found it much of the book fascinating, a large part seemed to be geared toward newer BI users. The book talks about everything from what is business intelligence to some available tools to some tips and tricks for using BI tools. I enjoyed the case studies the most because i felt they were relatable. Having used PowerBI, Qlik and Cognos, I find myself going places and saying I would love to see their data solutions. Imagine sitting in line at Hershey park and saying I really would love to see their business intelligence solutions even more than the chocolate.
The case studies in this book are a quick behind the scenes snip of what other companies are doing and it always me to map where my company is in comparison. The language is clear and easy to understand and easy to read. The book does not get weighed down it technical details. In my opinion this book is great for a beginner.
Thanks to NetGalley and BooksGoSocial for the opportunity to read this ARC.

This book is perfect for beginners who want to understand how data can help businesses make smarter decisions. It explains things like dashboards, analytics, and reporting in an easy way, without too much technical jargon. If you're curious about business intelligence but don't know where to start, this book gives you the basics in a clear and practical way.
Business instructors should have this as part of their class because it will teach students a concept called business intelligence or BI. It was something that is not usually taught but it should. I liked it when it explained the historical timeline of BI and how we are currently in the third version. The business world should read this to see how important BI is.
