Penny Robards
Data & Analytics
Data foundations organisations can make decisions on — warehouses that hold up under scrutiny, Power BI platforms people trust, reporting that answers the question being asked.
Twenty-seven years in data. Independent since 2000. Recent work for the County Court of Victoria, Linfox and NEOS Life.
WHAT I DO
Services
Data strategy & roadmaps
Where your data estate is now, where it needs to be, and the sequence of work between the two — scoped and costed before anything starts.
01
Data warehouse design & build
Warehouses designed and built to hold up under scrutiny — robust, documented, tested, and understood by the next person.
02
Power BI platform & governance
Workspace architecture, deployment standards and refresh automation — a platform that's ready when people need it and that they trust.
03
Reporting & dashboards
Reports that answer the question being asked and monitor the performance that matters — built so the people who rely on them can find their own answers.
04
Data quality & remediation
Source data is profiled before it is modelled, figures are reconciled at each layer, and monitoring views keep known gaps visible in the report rather than quietly filtered out.
05
Analytics enablement & training
Your people equipped to build, maintain and extend the platform after handover, with documentation that means nobody has to reverse-engineer it.

About
Penny Robards builds the data foundations organisations make decisions on: the warehouse, the Power BI platform on top of it, and the reports people open. Data quality monitoring is built in from the start, so problems surface in the report rather than in the board meeting.
What you receive is a board report or sales report that is ready when the meeting is, that reads at a glance, that drills down to the record behind any figure, and that is documented from source field to report calculation with a data dictionary — so nobody argues about what a number means.
Twenty-seven years in data across government, justice, finance, energy, logistics, health and manufacturing. Independent since 2000. Every engagement starts with an agreed scope and timeline, keeps you informed as it goes, and finishes with documentation and a proper handover. Nothing arrives that you haven't seen coming.
