Data from the Outside In, w/ MVP Kristyna Ferris

This week we're talking with Power BI MVP Kristyna Ferris about flipping the script on how we look at business data. She has some cool ideas about viewing things from the outside that might change how you think about your company's data.

Kristyna walks us through her approach, showing how she used Power BI to get a bird's eye view of an organization It's eye-opening - like she's put her company under a giant microscope, revealing all sorts of connections and patterns hiding in plain sight. She catches all sorts of interesting things, from what customers are really up to, to where things are getting gummed up in operations.

But here's the kicker - Kristyna doesn't just sit there admiring the view. She takes what she sees and makes real changes. She'll run through some examples of how this outside-in perspective led to actual improvements. We're talking streamlined processes, new market opportunities - the whole nine yards.

The best part? Kristyna's figured out how to get everyone else on board with this way of thinking. She's got some great tips for creating a culture where people are itching to step back and look at the big picture. It's about building a team that's always on the lookout for the next big "aha!" moment.
