About this Event

The session will focus on leveraging Power BI®  (Microsoft Business Intelligence software) on how to tell “THAT” story. That story refers to delivering actionable results from a search or analysis, that helps the reader understand the data and what it means to them. Examples of data that can be transformed are: usage metrics, company research, patent search results, and more!

The session is structured for both new users to Power BI and those that may be using Power BI (or even Tableau) on a regular basis. It will begin with an initial overview of Power BI (datasets, reports and its pages, and dashboards) and building the visuals to tell the story you need. While the focus is on Power BI and building a final deliverable, there will be some discussion on other "intelligence tools" and how to share the deliverable that fits within your organization. A true example will drive the anatomy of Power BI and its deliverable; and with a prayer to the demo gods, a Power BI deliverable will (hopefully) be built from raw data live using the tips learned throughout the session.


Some Key Takeaways

  • Understanding between Power BI datasets, reports and dashboards
  • Appreciation of the available "tools" to shape & transform your data into knowledge
  • Exploration of how Power BI interacts with the rest of the Power Platform & M365 families

PHarma Talks: "Growing the Information Center – A Case Study," Kimberly Flanagan-Bouchard

Tue, Jan 26, 2021 2:00 PM - 3:00 PM EST

About this Event

Corporate libraries provide a wealth of information and critical services for their companies, supporting bottom-line revenue. They are often overlooked, undervalued, and ultimately eliminated as 'the cost center that just spends too much money."  It's either in their absence or during decisive times (e.g., FDA submissions) that the company feels the gap. In talking about her experience at Daiichi Sankyo, Kimberly will explain how she helped leadership understand the value the library brings, avoid that 'gap,' and why the library could no longer operate on "bubble gum and rubber bands" if the company wanted to accomplish its mission.

Speaker

Kimberly A. Flanagan-Bouchard, Associate Director, Competitive Intelligence & Library Services, Daiichi Sankyo, Inc.

Kimberly A. Flanagan-Bouchard has worked in the pharmaceutical industry for over 25 years as an information professional.  In 2014, she started as a contractor in the Scientific Library of Daiichi Sankyo, and advanced to Associate Director to manage the strategic vision of the Competitive Intelligence & Library Services, spearheading a globalization effort to support a growing employee base worldwide.  Previously, Kimberly was with Johnson & Johnson, where she developed an Pinnacle Award-winning global information service for the quality & compliance organization, and was Chair of J&J's global information professional group.

Kimberly lives in Sayreville, NJ with her husband Michael and their three teenage boys. She is an avid reader, loves music, gardening, animals and good wine, and takes great pride in being a mom to her sons.  She is an advocate for life-long learning, and not taking life too seriously. You'll always find her laughing, watching Golden Girl re-runs, and speaking in fluid movie quotes.
