Welcome to Karen Bashaw Consulting!

Save time and reduce errors with custom automation.
Every organization has repetitive steps that can be streamlined — routing approvals, tracking requests, or sending updates.
I design and configure automated workflows using Microsoft Power Automate and Forms so your team spends less time clicking and more time doing.

• Common solutions:
  
  • Automated notifications and status updates
  • Digital approval workflows
  • Simplified intake and request forms

Turn scattered information into clear visibility.
Many teams manage their data across Excel, emails, and shared folders — I bring that together into one view using Power BI dashboards.
Dashboards show what’s working, where time is lost, and how performance changes week to week.

• Common solutions:
  
  • Power BI dashboards connected to Excel, SharePoint, SQL databases, Dataverse etc.
  • KPI tracking across multiple systems
  • Data refresh automation and alert setup

Make your systems “talk” to each other.
When key data is trapped in separate platforms, decisions take longer. I connect tools like Microsoft 365, Teams, and ERP systems so data flows automatically and updates appear in real time.

• Common solutions:
  
  • Integrating Power Apps with Teams or Excel
  • Linking ERP or CRM data for real-time updates
  • API and SQL-based data connections

Empowering your team to manage what we build.
Each project includes a live handoff and training session to ensure your team can confidently use and maintain the new tools. Additional workshops or advanced training can be scheduled as part of ongoing support. I focus on building long-term capacity — not dependency — so your team stays in control.

Training formats:

• Live walkthroughs during implementation
• Optional recorded overview (by request)
• One-on-one or small group sessions available
