Solid Talk: How industry leaders build State-of-the-Art reports

You have more data than ever, and you want to do more with it. That’s a good thing. It doesn’t mean you need more dashboards. A random Power BI environment holds fifty reports, with one of them actively used, by one person. The rest sits still. Not because they’re badly built, but because nobody knows which number to trust, and which one matters for the decision.

Does this sound familiar?

• You have three dashboards on the same topic, with three different conclusions.
• You have ten dashboards on one department, and you wonder who is actually doing what with them.
• Your team delivers AI-generated analyses, but you don’t know which ones to trust.
• You can find any number in under a minute, but nobody knows which one is right.
• Everyone builds their own reports, and nobody follows the same basic rules.

The real problem

What you think you need is more. More data, more reports, more detail. What you actually need are better insights that lead directly to a decision. A Power BI environment with fifty reports delivers nothing if your team doesn’t know which outcome to trust. Ten dashboards on one department don’t help if each presents the same numbers in its own way. The amount isn’t the problem. The absence of a shared way to present is.

Standardize business reporting with IBCS

IBCS stands for International Business Communication Standards: a set of foundational rules for how to build management reports. Not design choices by taste, but a shared language that makes every report readable within seconds, no matter who built it.

The effect is concrete. Your management team recognizes at a glance what deviates and what’s on track. Your analysts save time because they no longer re-explain visual choices in every report. Your reporting tool gets used by your whole organization instead of by one enthusiast.

What this Solid Talk gives you

• Your management meetings start with decisions, not ten minutes of discussion about which version is right.
• One number for finance, sales, and operations, instead of three separate versions.
• A Power BI environment used by your whole organization, not just the one analyst who built it.
• An approach to AI in reporting that speeds up your organization instead of fragmenting it, with a live demo of Zebra AI.

Meet the experts

• Jürgen Faisst, founder of IBCS, expert in business communication and data standardization.
• Andrej Lapajne, founder of Zebra BI, specialist in visual reporting and impactful dashboards.
• Paul Damen, co-founder of Rockfeather. Bridges theory and practice.

Who is this Solid Talk for?

For finance and BI managers responsible for weekly and monthly reporting, who see the volume of analyses growing faster than their confidence in it. And for controllers, analysts, and data leads who want to know which rules are worth starting with tomorrow.
