A short list of sharp questions tells you more than any sales deck. The answers reveal how a consultant thinks and whether they will fit your business.
We answer all of these openly in a scoping call for our Business Intelligence Consulting service, because a clear brief is what makes a build succeed.
These questions show whether a consultant starts with your decisions or their toolkit. The right answers tie every dashboard to an action someone will take.
You want to keep what you pay for. Ask who owns the dashboards, where they are built and what happens if you part ways.
A consultant who measures success only by dashboard count is selling decoration. Good answers link the work to hours saved and better decisions, the real return on the investment.
If they cannot name the decision a dashboard improves, treat it as a flag. Every report should tie to an action.
A BI audit and roadmap starts from $2,490 plus GST as a one-off. A core dashboard build starts from $4,990 plus GST. Ongoing BI partner support starts from $1,490 per month. The right tier depends on how much data you have and how many decisions you want it to drive.
TPR Media operates from Level 34, 1 Eagle Street, Brisbane City QLD 4000, serving clients across Brisbane and Australia-wide.
Before hiring a BI consultant, ask which decisions the reporting improves, how they choose tools, who owns the dashboards, how the logic is documented and how they measure success. The best answers tie every dashboard to a real action.
