How do I obtain Microsoft Power BI Desktop software?
To build Change Management Data Reports, download Microsoft Power BI Desktop from this link.
I am an experienced project or change management professional but have no background in data analytics. Is this class suitable for me?
Absolutely. If you can use a spreadsheet, you can complete this class. We believe that once you see how easy it is, you'll want to spend more time visualizing your change management data to clearly explain the value you provide.
I am an experienced BI data analyst. What can I gain from this class?
While we may not introduce you to new tips and tricks in MS Power BI or Tableau, we can help you present and organize change management data in a way that executives will understand. The class is taught by experienced change management professionals.
If I do not have Microsoft Power BI or any other business intelligence software, is this training still valuable?
Yes, it is. Even if you do not plan to use business intelligence applications, you can still observe the process and learn how to create change management data that provides the answers executives need to understand the value of the change management process and reduce the risk of change adoption failure.
Does Stracl SaaS work with Tableau from Salesforce?
Yes, Stracl SaaS supports Tableau integration. To learn more about Tableau, visit this link and download the desktop application. While the class uses Microsoft Power BI and MS Excel to demonstrate how to build charts and visuals to articulate the value of change management, the skills you learn will apply to Tableau as well.
What if I do not have a Stracl SaaS license?
No problem! You can use your standard change management data spreadsheets as a data source for Microsoft Power BI. This allows you to visualize and analyze your data effectively without the need for specialized change management software like Stracl.
Does what you teach support all current and popular Change Management models, frameworks, or methodologies?
Yes, this class supports all change management approaches. For illustrative purposes, we use the ACMP Standard for Change Management to explain change management data analytics. To download the Standard, visit this link.
There is incredible interest in AI. How does this class support that?
All Stracl SaaS data used in Power BI is automatically available to Microsoft Copilot for further analysis. We will show you all the touch points, and it will be up to you how you use it for further analysis.
If I am interested in studying the technical aspects of Microsoft Power BI and want to obtain an additional qualification, what should I pursue?

Is Microsoft Power BI Desktop available on Mac?
No, Microsoft Power BI Desktop is currently only available on Windows. However, Mac users have alternative options to access Power BI, such as using the Power BI Service (the web-based version) or running Power BI Desktop through a virtual Windows environment or a cloud-based solution like Parallels or Boot Camp. These alternatives allow Mac users to leverage Power BI's full functionality despite the lack of native Mac support.
