Same Numbers, Different Stories – How governance supports understanding

Why do five Power BI reports using the same data source lead to different conclusions? In many organisations, the challenge is no longer data access, but data understanding and storytelling.

At Bankdata, our transition to Power BI Service became a catalyst to rethink how we approach reporting, data insights and the data foundation supporting it. Our vision is clear ownership of metrics, shared definitions, and a stronger focus on storytelling to support managers and others who need to act, not analyse.

This talk explores how we got started and how governance goes beyond rules, and into architecture, semantics and narrative to improve efficiency, trust and business impact for Power BI end users.
