A Transformational Power BI Success Story at Medtronic w/ Luciano Miranda

This week, gear up for an episode packed with insight and excitement! Our guest Luciano Miranda, Vice President of Analytics and Insights for Global Operations and Supply Chain at Medtronic, took us on quite a ride this week. His globally dispersed team helps inform critical decisions across Medtronic's far-reaching supply chain using the power of data. What began as a scrappy five-person team doing their best in Excel has blossomed into an analytics powerhouse delivering insights that assist over 90,000 Medtronic employees.

But it wasn't easy getting there. From adopting new technologies to overcoming changes in organizational structure, Luciano kept his focus squarely on delivering value to stakeholders. By putting relationships before process and always taking the "learner path" over the "judger path," he turned obstacles into opportunities for growth.

The future holds even more change as AI promises to amplify our capabilities. But Luciano sees a bright future where these technologies enhance the power of dashboards and the insight of analysts. He chooses to ride the waves of change rather than be overcome by them. The human element still reigns supreme.
