Session 2 - Shubhangi Goyal - Customer-First Analytics: Power BI Dashboard for Impact - Building a dashboard is easy. Building one that truly serves your customer — that's where the real work (and value) begins.

• Understanding your audience’s pain points and priorities
• Translating business questions into measurable KPIs
• Structuring your data model for flexibility and performance
