Building your BI Team in a Fabric world
2025TL; DR
Whether you’re part of a large BI team or the sole Power BI champion, success requires wearing many hats. In this session I will share my experience from shaping BI teams across the UK and more recently, helping them adapt to a Fabric world. You will leave considering how you can best empower your people, and thinking about how you can structure your teams to embrace change.
Session Details
Whether you’re a part of a large BI team, or the sole Power BI champion for your business, there are many hats to be worn to deliver success in Power BI.
Who owns the platform and what are their responsibilities?
Who are your core developers and what standards should they adhere to?
Who are the super users in your business and how can you best utilise them?
How can you identify your champion end users who are the key to driving true adoption?
These have always been key talking points for those growing a career or building out teams of Power BI specialists, but in a Fabric world it’s all the more important to establish. How can you ready yourself and your team to unlock the innovation that will come with growing Fabric implementations?
This session will delve into the crucial people pillar of my Power BI Adoption framework, which I’ve been delivering to organisations across the UK since the launch of Microsoft Fabric. With over 6 years experience delivering end-to-end Power BI implementations, I specialise in helping BI teams drive adoption, see ROI for their deliveries and implement governance on out of control Power BI platforms.
