Project Case Study

Microsoft Power BI
Data-driven dashboard designs


A series of Power BI dashboards developed across multiple clients and industries at BDO, each tailored to different data sets, requirements and use cases while improving clarity, usability and consistency in reporting.

Scope

What was delivered

Design of multiple dashboard experiences across client engagements, identifying critical data based on business goals and translating complex data sets into clear, usable reporting tools for analysis and decision-making.

Dashboard UX and layout structure

Data visualization design

Template system for reuse and scaling

Branding and visual consistency

Cross-dashboard interaction patterns

“Dashboards should surface answers, not force interpretation.”

The Problem

Reporting lacked consistency and clarity, with an overwhelming volume of data making it difficult to identify what actually mattered. Dashboards varied in structure, visual language and usability, limiting their effectiveness for decision-making.

Data Structure

Critical data was identified based on business goals and reorganized into clear structures, ensuring metrics and insights are grouped in a way that supports fast understanding.

Guided Interpretation

Layouts were designed to guide users through key metrics, trends and insights, helping surface what matters without requiring manual analysis.

Visualization Clarity

Charts, graphs and UI elements were standardized to improve readability, reduce noise and highlight what matters.

Scalable Components

Templates were built to be reused across teams, ensuring consistency while allowing flexibility for different reporting needs.
