Ridiculously effective
'Ridiculously effective’ is the phrase that comes to mind when I think about Nick’s Enterprise Dashboard Process. His program gave my team a scalable and repeatable process to deliver ACTIONABLE insight that truly adds value to the company. He has a crazy amount of experience, giving him a wealth of knowledge about what works and what doesn’t. We’re much more confident in the product we deliver thanks to Nick’s process.

Got no time?
Always in reactive mode?
Reports and dashboards not creating value?
SOUND FAMILIAR?
Reporting is hard. You can do everything by the book but still have challenges engaging with your stakeholders and users or, even worse, they don’t trust you or your team! Problems compound on top of each other and going into work is not a lot of fun any more.

FOCUS ON PEOPLE & PROCESS, NOT TECHNOLOGY & DATA
The traditional approaches to Business Intelligence and analytics are tired and old, they no longer move at the speed of the business. It’s no wonder most of your time is spent being reactive and there are many reports out there that no one is using.
It’s a matter of focus, but you need to know exactly what to focus on. We can’t expect technology, like Tableau, Qlik Sense and Power BI, to solve people and process problems, yet that is what we do.
You need to know the exact steps, processes and tools to be able to succeed, every time.
TYPICAL FOCUS
Problems emerge due to a focus on the wrong areas
Typical focus on business intelligence and analytics
TARGET FOCUS
Leverage process to align people around data, enabled by technology
Target focus on business intelligence and analytics
INSIGHT ISN'T MAGIC, IT'S CAUSE AND EFFECT
We help BI/Analytics professionals bring order to chaos and get lazer-focused on value.
You’ll find our participants engaging stakeholders, leveraging process and driving adoption,
not making excuses about “poor data quality”.
Nick has worked for many years in the analytics field, both inside and outside of Deloitte. His work has been consistently underpinned by two core themes – making the insights you and your company can get from data accessible through well thought out and intuitive visual assets; and integrating those visual assets (such as dynamic dashboards) with existing platforms and processes to help business leaders take action on the insights.
Analytics is as much an art as it is a science and Nick has a unique ability to bridge the gap between data science, digital and the generation of measurable, tangible business value. And all with an energetic approach and sprinkle of Irish charm!

Standardized process to increase adoption
Hernan Pisano -
Practice Lead, Data Capabilities Office
When you’ve been in BI as long as I have, you start to see the same barriers to extracting value from data. There is typically no formalized requirements intake process and communication is ineffective or nonexistent.
Every serious BI and analytics group needs a standardized process for requirements gathering. This course delivers that and more.

Nick is Extremely Knowledgeable
Frank Noordover -
Director of Data Management
Nick is extremely knowledgeable on the topic, with lots of real world experience implementing COEs for his clients. He taught us about his framework and gave a lot of great insight how to use the framework within our own organization. His teaching style is outstanding and he gets the class to engage so it becomes a discussion. I definitely recommend taking a class from Nick if you have the chance.
Persona-based dashboard requirements intake
Bora Inceler -
Director Financial Crime Analytics
There is immense value in an individual taking this course. Exponential value is generated when a whole team takes it as the cultural shift needed is more rapid. Imagine not having to convince colleagues that engaging users and stakeholders is important. It changes the conversation from ‘what can we do with our data’ to ‘what our data needs to do for us’, i.e. start with business value and make the data work to get there. Get your reporting intake standardised, no more wild west. This course works.
Create higher adoption rates
Also Castellanos -
Category and Shopper Insights Strategist
Nick's training on building better dashboards has been instrumental in helping McKee Foods get on the road from good to great visualizations. The ingredient we were missing was that we needed to create a system to successfully create higher dashboard adoption rates. As a result of using the Dashboard Wireframe Kit, we now have a more engaged stakeholder group and more user relevant dashboards. I recommend anyone seeking to become the best visual data storyteller in the industry to try Nick's training. It will be money well spent!
Dashboards people will actually use
Christopher Rice -
Director Marketing Research & Analytics
The dash boarding process that Nick has outlined and detailed in his training will prepare your organization to plan and execute a dashboard that adds tremendous value. I have seen failed dash boarding attempts at my company and Nick’s well planned approach aligns everyone to the same successful implementation. The training was the most comprehensive and complete dash boarding exercise I have seen in our industry.
Rapid implementation
Stephanie Kuczynski -
Business Intelligence Team Lead
I really took a lot from the program and I leveraged it in the office with great things to implement immediately!

Stop being reactive and start creating value
Phillip Simmons -
Banking Professional
Nick’s knowledge and expertise is incredible. Nick has a matchless approach of providing actionable insights and information that simply makes sense. He provides real and useful solutions that are invaluable. He addresses issues everyone seems to know about but aren’t sure how to deal with them, and provides wisdom and vision for handling them. You or your business will gain so much value from this course.
Real-world application
Darryl Moffat, CGA, CPA, CBIP -
Materials Operations Business Manager
I’ve been a Power BI user for a year or so and developed some decent Dashboards. Nick’s class helped me put it all together from gathering the correct data to deploying the dashboards. Based on what I learned, it would apply to any BI Dashboard solution.
Nick’s sense of humor mixed with real-world scenarios made it well worth the investment.
Direct appliction to my job
Kelly Booth -

THE RECIPE FOR BI & ANALYTICS SUCCESS
Most courses teach a specific skill like how to use a certain BI tool or technology, this creates ineffective professionals who don’t understand the whole. We are technology agnostic. Sure, we teach visualization best practices. We teach good design. We teach requirements gathering and how to launch a dashboard in your organization. We excel at all those.
However, to truly succeed with insight, you need to learn some new skills to build trust, manage expectations and exude competence. You need a new set of tools and mental model:
- Insight mindset – Vision, purpose, prioritize, problem solving, consultant identity
- UX principles – User journeys, scenario mapping, research, wireframing
- Iterative process – Frameworks, product cycle, workflows, tools, metrics
- Change management – Gaps, politics, history, change readiness, alignment
- Adoption ownership – Strategy, product focus, marketing, influence
