Scope statement

Power BI reporting your executives will trust.

Power BI is in almost every capital organization, and so are reports that are slow, inconsistent and quietly bypassed in favor of a spreadsheet someone trusts more. The gap between a report that runs the weekly meeting and one that is ignored is rarely the visuals. It is the data model, the definitions and whether the numbers reconcile to the schedule and cost systems.

We build Power BI the way a controls lead would want it built: clean star-schema models, agreed measure definitions, period snapshots that preserve each data date, and a restrained visual language that puts the critical path, cost-to-complete and the exceptions first. Connected to P6, Oracle Primavera Cloud, Procore and your ERP, reporting refreshes on its own and becomes part of the controls rhythm instead of an extra task.

RFI log · questions answered

What leaders ask us first.

Straight answers. If yours isn't logged here, raise it with us directly. A principal will respond.

Can you rescue our existing Power BI reports?

Often, yes. We start with the data model and definitions, then performance and design. Some reports are worth rebuilding; we will tell you which.

Can Power BI connect directly to Primavera P6?

Yes, through database connections, APIs or structured exports, depending on how your P6 or OPC environment is hosted and governed.

Will our team be able to maintain it?

That is the intent. We document the model and measures and can hand over through the Barkley Institute, so ownership stays in-house.

The next step

Command the date you announced.

Book a 45-minute program review with a senior principal. You will leave with an independent read of where your schedule and cost really stand, and the three moves that matter most.
