How NHS BNSSG CCG transformed their approach to BI with a platform for future growth through Power BI

Launchpad Implementation

A small number of complex requirements supporting KPIs across Planned Care Performance and Urgent Care were prioritised for implementation as a Launchpad for Power BI usage. Delivered on time and under budget, this commenced the CCG’s journey into an automated analytics platform, delivering key business benefits, including:

• Reduced effort to generate - automation of key, previously manual reports frees up time for analysts to make more sophisticated assessments of the data. The CCG can now concentrate on innovation rather than repetition.
• Reduced errors and increased consistency - manually created reports are prone to human error. The Launchpad provides the CCG with a consistent single reporting process to build upon.
• Increased speed - reduce processes which used to take hours to a matter of minutes with report automation. This affords the opportunity to have more and reliably up to date views of performance on a regular basis.
  
  

Training

Once the CCG saw the value that Power BI could provide to revolutionise their largely manual reporting processes, Inciper were asked to provide basic and advanced training to ensure the CCG’s BI analysts were empowered to build visually appealing, rich, interactive reports which would increase valuable insights and reduce manual effort for the whole team. Training was planned and delivered across the following areas:

• Dashboard in a Day - introduction into Power BI and guided development training for all BI analysts, delivered as a classroom training session and virtually, using data that the users were familiar with to ensure maximum value.
• Advanced topics - training on more advanced topics (complex R scripting, AI integration, administration) was provided to a smaller number of analysts with already advanced data/AI skills and knowledge.

Ongoing Partnership

Due to the success of the initial strategy and advisory engagement and subsequent implementation and training delivery, NHS BNSSG CCG is continuing to work with Inciper as its partner for future support and incremental platform enhancement. NHS BNSSG CCG understand that having a partner to rely on for adhoc support, further training and collaborative implementation consultancy is a great fit for their organisation.
