Diana Injelwa’s Data-Driven Transformation
The Jitume program, a collaborative effort between Pathways Technologies Ltd and Konza Technopolis, is making significant strides in equipping Kenyan youth with essential tech skills. Designed to train 10,000 young people in data analytics, data science, and software development over the next five years, Jitume is already demonstrating its impact through inspiring success stories like Diana Injelwa’s.
A graduate of the program’s first cohort, Diana showcased her talent by developing a powerful CRM Sales Opportunities Dashboard using Power BI, a leading business intelligence tool developed by Microsoft. Power BI allows users to transform raw data into interactive and visually appealing insights.
Diana’s project addressed a common challenge for a company specializing in computer hardware sales to large businesses: limited visibility into their sales data beyond their existing CRM system. By leveraging Power BI, Diana’s dashboard transformed raw data into actionable insights.
Unveiling Sales Insights with Power BI
Diana’s dashboard provided three key reports generated through Power BI:
- Sales Agent Performance: By identifying top performers and areas for improvement, this report empowers sales managers to optimize team performance.
- Product Performance: Pinpointing top-selling products and those requiring attention, this report guides product development and marketing strategies.
- Geographical Performance: Revealing high-performing regions and markets, this report helps focus sales efforts and resources effectively.
Driving Business Growth
Building on the dashboard’s findings, Diana proposed practical solutions to enhance sales. Her suggestions included specialized training for struggling sales agents and market research for underperforming products.
Jitume: A Catalyst for Change
Diana’s achievement is a testament to the Jitume program’s ability to equip young Kenyans with the skills to drive real-world business impact. By fostering a culture of innovation and problem-solving, Jitume is empowering the next generation of tech leaders, particularly in the field of data visualization and business intelligence through tools like Power BI.
