The book would provide a good introduction for newcomers to BI and for managers. I like the way she approaches projects by starting with the desired KPIs. What we find useful is mocking up some data with Excel or even Power BI Desktop to show users what we're talking about and to demonstrate the potential KPIs. I liked the way the book leaned into prescriptive analytics as well. This is an area that so many books ignore.
