Microsoft has recently launched a very impressive update to its PPM Power BI Content Pack, which allows organizations to get started quickly with dashboards and reports without requiring any customizations in Project Online.

The new Content Pack contains the latest visualizations and features available in Power BI, and it comes with 13 pages supporting portfolio, resource, and project reporting.

Even though the released Content Pack represents a huge advance in the way companies are now able to report against their data, there is always space to take a step further.

Based on my real-world experience working with customers to solve their business requirements and meet their strategic goals, during this session Raphael will demonstrate how you can use 5 custom visuals that are not included in the out of the box Content Pack to create stunning reports.

You’ll learn, through a combination of hands-on lab and practice, the business requirements and use cases for each of the 5 custom visuals – and will be able to take your PPM Content Pack to the next level.

Presenter: Raphael Santos (LinkedIn profile) is the author of Excel 2013 – Módulo Intermediário (Portuguese Edition).  As a PPM Consultant, with deep expertise in providing Microsoft Project & Project Server solutions, he has worked in several projects to implement PPM tools, including countries in Latin America and Africa.

Lack of leadership is often cited at the #1 obstacle to success for organizations.

The good news is that modern leadership isn’t dependent on your title, years of experience or knowledge about a domain.

Leadership, at it’s core, is about setting a direction that motivates others to action. It’s about creating a vision that gets buy-in.

We are all capable of leading, and inspiring others to lead. During this talk we will explore the truth about leadership in the modern era, and how it really works.

You will come away with game-changing ideas and experience powerful shifts that will help you elevate your leadership skill immediately. Most importantly, you will have a deep sense of knowing that you are ready to lead, now!
