Data-Driven Notifications | Microsoft Power BI

 

Are important changes in your business passing by unnoticed?

Data-driven Power BI notifications are a great way to stay on top of the significant change events in your business.

We are often forced to juggle our time between driving new actions and reviewing the results of old ones in our reporting. This can lead to missing, or at best seeing too late, the movements in our data which signify important change for business, campaign or project performance.

This Power BI feature resolves that issue by allowing you to automate the triggering of notifications, via email or text, so you’re informed about these key changes as they happen.

Use cases

Product or category velocity change

Consumer preferences can quickly shift to a product or category you stock. Being notified of a significant increase in the views or sales of products lines can better prepare you and your team to allocate stock more efficiently, incorporate complementary product offerings to your suggested feeds, and drive your communications.

Sales milestones

Be notified when a product, store, manager or any other revenue-generating entity hits a key milestone. This is a great way to track performance against set targets – use it to showcase high performers and encourage others to push toward goals.

Project management

Managing project resources is a complex feat. Notifications can be used to inform you when a project is in danger of going over budget or schedule, tailored to whatever warning thresholds are right for you. This will enable you to quickly dive into the details with relevant stakeholders, and keep clients onside. See our Project Management dashboard solution for more on this.

Staff performance

Track staff on performance measures set by your business, such as viewing reports on a regular basis, adding commentary, or refreshing relevant reporting views in a timely fashion.

Power Automate is an impressive tool which functions within Power BI and interacts with many products in the Microsoft Office suite.

Data Mesh - The future for data led organisations
Data Mesh - The future for data led organisations

The main obstacle with any developed data analytics function is the bottleneck of data and skillset – the more central intelligence you have, the more outer teams want to use it, so you need to find a way of allowing data and insights to flow.

If data is so complex that only your highly paid data wizards, how can make sense of it?

Here’s one methodology that we’ll discuss in detail, the Data Mesh:

  1. A decentralised data structure with domain/product teams who own the analytical and operational data:

  2. Self-serve infrastructure, data products and federated governance.

  3. A data-driven decision-making culture across the organisation.

Using data to predict movie ratings
Using data to predict movie ratings

With the Oscars just round the corner (March 12th), it seems fitting to keep on top of the latest movies and see if data can help find the diamonds in the rough!

In my previous article I looked at upcoming sequels, with a lens of which movies would come out on top. A question that kept coming back was “can we predict how non sequel movies are going to do (rating wise)?”

Where there is data, we find an answer!

Gender and jobs, are we heading in the right direction?

The Australian Bureau of Statistics released the 2nd round of Census data on topics including employment and location-based variables in Oct2022.

There are some BIG movies on the horizon this year – some where we know the characters like old friends and others that will introduce new heroes and villains (I really don’t know what to make of the new horror Winnie the Pooh movie).

Christmas - a time to watch TV?

The Christmas break offers so much - from family reunions, beach activities to stuffing ourselves with more food than would normally be appropriate.

If like me, you feel a bit overwhelmed by the choice of TV shows to catch up with, let’s use data to our advantage and make sure you cover off the biggest shows from the last few years!
