Over the past few months, I've had conversations with businesses about dashboards, reporting and the amount of time that can disappear into producing the same information every week or month.<\/p>\n
One thing became increasingly clear:<\/p>\n
Most businesses don't need another large system. They need the reporting they already use to work better.<\/strong><\/p>\n That's why I've changed the way Monster Analytics approaches reporting projects.<\/p>\n Instead of beginning with a dashboard, we now begin with one recurring report<\/strong>.<\/p>\n It might be an Excel workbook that requires too much copying and checking, several CSV exports that have to be combined manually, a monthly management report that's difficult to maintain, or a process where the same data has to be cleaned and reformatted every time.<\/p>\n We review the existing process first and identify what can realistically be cleaned, simplified or made repeatable.<\/p>\n The solution might involve Excel, Power Query or, where it genuinely adds value, Power BI.<\/p>\n The objective is much simpler:<\/p>\n Less preparation. More clarity. A reporting process that's easier to repeat.<\/strong><\/p>\n Monster Analytics is based in Hull and works with UK businesses and charities.<\/p>\n If there's one report in your organisation that everybody relies on but nobody enjoys producing, I'd be very happy to take a look.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Over the past few months, I've had conversations with businesses about dashboards, reporting and the amount of time that can disappear into producing the same information every","protected":false},"author":12313493,"featured_media":25905,"template":"","good_news_category":[10],"class_list":["post-25904","good-news","type-good-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","good_news_category-business"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/thebusinessculture.co.uk\/hey\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/good-news\/25904","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/thebusinessculture.co.uk\/hey\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/good-news"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/thebusinessculture.co.uk\/hey\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/good-news"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thebusinessculture.co.uk\/hey\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/12313493"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/thebusinessculture.co.uk\/hey\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/good-news\/25904\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thebusinessculture.co.uk\/hey\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/25905"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/thebusinessculture.co.uk\/hey\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=25904"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"good_news_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thebusinessculture.co.uk\/hey\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/good_news_category?post=25904"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
