In short
What is the Power BI and AI Essentials for Reporting and Visualization program?
A two-day program for turning corporate data into AI-augmented reports using Power BI's built-in AI and Microsoft Copilot. No prior BI experience required.
Your team turns corporate data into AI-augmented reports using Power BI’s built-in AI and Microsoft Copilot, with no prior BI experience required.
In Microsoft’s own research, Copilot helped finance users most with simplifying reporting (73%) and validating data quality (72%) (Microsoft, 2024). Reporting is where the time comes back first. Source: Microsoft, Work Trend Index, 2024
Reporting is the fastest payback in most teams. We have automated reporting and dashboards for Malaysian enterprises so analysts spend less time building and more time deciding. See a case study.

Who runs it
This program is run by industry practitioners who have shipped AI inside regulated enterprises across banking, government, manufacturing, and telco. It is led by Peter Kua, our AI and data science lead, a core contributor to Malaysia’s National Big Data Analytics Framework under MDEC and co-author of Malaysia’s AI Adoption Blueprints in 2019 and 2020. You are learning from people who have built this in production, not read about it. Peter’s commentary on AI adoption and workforce capability has appeared in The Star, theSun, Singapore Business Review, e27, and DagangNews, and on RTM Berita’s Tech Today.
A fast path from spreadsheets to AI-assisted dashboards, using the Microsoft tools your organization already has.
Common questions
Is this program HRDC claimable?
Yes. It is claimable through HRD Corp under SBL and SBL-Khas. GrowthPro Asia is an HRDC-registered provider, and we handle the claim paperwork so it stays audit-ready. For most registered employers the levy covers most or all of the cost.
Do we need a technical or coding background?
No. This is a no-code and low-code program built for business teams. You work in tools your people already use, on your own tasks. We handle the technical depth so your team can focus on applying AI to real work, not writing software.
Is it delivered in-house or as a scheduled cohort?
Both. Most teams run it in-house over two days, built around their own use cases, which is where adoption holds best. A scheduled cohort is available when you want a smaller group to join alongside peers from other organisations.
Will it actually stick after the two days?
That is the design goal. We measure adoption, not attendance, define the target workflows up front, and provide post-training support so AI use holds on the job. Most AI rollouts underdeliver on adoption, not tooling, so that is where we focus.
How is the cost set?
We do not publish a fixed price. Cost depends on in-house versus scheduled delivery, group size, and how far we customise to your sector and use cases. It is HRD Corp claimable, so for most registered employers the levy covers most or all of it. Tell us your group size and format for an indicative quote.
Do we need Power BI experience to start?
No. The program assumes none. You learn to build AI-augmented reports from your own corporate data using Power BI’s AI features and Copilot, starting from the basics.
What will we produce?
Working, AI-augmented reports on your data: cleaner visuals, faster build, and narrative summaries your stakeholders can read. You leave with templates your team reuses each reporting cycle.
