Ole Himmel
Last position:
Interim Head of PMO at RAILPOOL GmbH
Due to the steady growth of the customer organization and the associated increase in the number of projects in a wide range of areas, including IT/digitalization, sales and organizational development, and controlling, the demands on the projects are increasing. Projects are often started but not implemented within the planned time frame, resources are not clearly assigned, and the business value is not clearly demonstrated. The goal of the assignment as Interim Head of PMO is to further develop and embed an existing project organization from the CDO area at management level. It is important that the governance is pragmatic, easy to understand, and simple to apply in daily project work. The tasks and roles are to be defined, embedded in the organization, and this strategic PMO is also to be supported by an IT solution. This solution is to be selected and introduced. In addition, all ongoing projects are to be gradually transferred into PMO governance and project control is to be centralized.

About the technology
What BI covers
Business Intelligence turns data into reports, dashboards, and insights people can act on. It is used to track sales, finance, operations, product usage, and customer behavior. Strong BI work makes trends visible and supports faster decisions.
Core tools
- Power BI for interactive reporting and Microsoft-based data stacks
- Tableau for visual analysis and executive dashboards
- Looker for governed metrics and semantic modeling
- Qlik Sense for guided analysis and self-service exploration
- Excel for fast analysis, ad hoc reporting, and reconciliation
Common deliverables
BI specialists usually build data models, KPI layers, dashboard suites, and recurring management reports. They also define metric logic so teams read the same numbers the same way. In many projects, they connect source systems to a warehouse and make the results easy to use.
When companies bring in help
Companies look for freelance BI expertise when reporting is slow, inconsistent, or hard to trust. They also bring in specialists during tool rollouts, dashboard rebuilds, data warehouse changes, or when leadership needs a clearer view of performance. Clean handover and documentation matter here.
What strong specialists do
A strong BI specialist understands both business questions and data structure. They write solid SQL, shape data for analysis, and keep dashboards simple enough for real use. They also know how to handle access, refresh logic, and metric definitions without confusion.
Work that fits well
- Executive and team dashboards
- KPI definitions and reporting layers
- Self-service analytics setup
- Source-to-dashboard data flows
- Dashboard audits and rebuilds
Frequently asked questions
Everything clients usually want to know about Business Intelligence, in one place.
Business Intelligence is used to turn operational data into reports, dashboards, and metric views that support decisions. Companies use it to monitor revenue, pipeline, inventory, service levels, and product performance. It is less about storing data and more about making the data useful.
Business Intelligence focuses on clear reporting, shared metrics, and business-facing dashboards. Data analytics often goes deeper into exploration, while data science usually involves forecasting or statistical models. In many companies the three overlap, but BI stays closest to day-to-day management reporting.
A strong Business Intelligence specialist usually knows one or more reporting tools such as Power BI, Tableau, Looker, or Qlik Sense. SQL is often essential, and Excel still matters for quick analysis and reconciliation. Knowledge of a warehouse such as BigQuery, Snowflake, or SQL Server is also valuable.
Business Intelligence work often needs outside help when dashboards are inconsistent, source data changes, or a new reporting stack must be delivered quickly. Freelance specialists are also useful for short-term rebuilds, KPI cleanup, and migration from one tool to another. They can step in without long internal onboarding if the data access is ready.
A Business Intelligence project needs someone who has shipped real reports and knows how business teams actually use them. For simple dashboard work, a focused specialist may be enough. For enterprise reporting, you want someone who can handle data modeling, governance, and stakeholder alignment as well.
Most Business Intelligence work can be done remotely because the core tasks are data access, modeling, and dashboard delivery. On-site time can help at the start of a project when teams need to align on definitions, priorities, or sensitive data workflows. Many companies use a hybrid setup for better communication.
Look for a Business Intelligence specialist who asks about the business question before touching the dashboard. Good work has clear metric definitions, clean joins, sensible visuals, and documentation that another specialist can follow. Ask for examples of dashboard logic, not just screenshots.
Business Intelligence often sits next to SQL, data modeling, warehouse design, and analytics engineering. For some roles, understanding permissions, data quality, and source-system behavior matters just as much as dashboard design. Communication is also important because BI work fails when stakeholders disagree on the numbers.
