Show 24 – Part 1: News and front of mind

Finally. The end of 2020 is close and this is our last show of the year so we decided to look back at the biggest news and then look forward to what we hope are some better times in 2021. We are joined by two fantastic guests in Laura Graham-Brown (freelance consultanct and queen of Power BI) and Michal Pisarek (CEO at Orchestry  Software) who shared their own thoughts.
