- Improve processes, templates and design standards; champion adoption and self-service through training, mentorship and a community of practice.
- Create a culture of continuous learning by evaluating emerging Power BI analytics and LLM capabilities, running targeted pilots, documenting what works as team guidelines, and upskilling the team through regular knowledge sharing.
