SUMMARY:SoCal Chapter Webinar: Moneyball Metrics: Exploring Power BI Through MLB Player Analysis
DESCRIPTION:Moneyball Metrics: Exploring Power BI Through MLB Player Analysis\nFebruary 27\, 2026 | 11:30am-12:30pm (pacific)\nWith recent enterprise access to Power BI\, the DoD Cost community has a powerful new tool at its disposal. This presentation examines not only how cost analysts have utilized Power BI over recent years but will also explore its potential usages and innovative ways to leverage its capabilities within the program office. Through the lens of the MLB\, we’ll explore Power BI’s capabilities\, with player salaries\, contract durations\, team locations\, and conferences representing key elements of Defense Acquisition. This data will be transformed into dynamic dashboards\, providing valuable support for cost estimating and program management by visualizing labor rates\, contract costs\, and more. As cost analysts\, our role is to provide decision-makers with accurate\, actionable insights. Power BI’s capabilities offer a shift from traditional tools enhancing the effectiveness and adaptability of decision support and database management. Ultimately\, this presentation aims to inspire new and creative approaches to data visualization and analysis. \nSpeakers: \nSam Lepordo is a Cost Analyst at Quantech Services with over 3 years of dedicated experience in DoD cost estimating. He has supported multiple Ground Based Command and Control IT systems within the Air Force. Sam grew up in Massachusetts and graduated from the University of New Hampshire with degrees in Finance and Information Systems & Business Analytics. \nWith a strong foundation and enthusiasm for Mathematics and Statistics\, Meghan Greathouse earned a B.S. in Mathematics and a Data Analytics Certification from Middle Georgia State University. Currently\, she brings two and a half years of experience as a Senior Cost Analyst\, specializing in cost and data analysis for the Distributed Common Ground Systems (DCGS) Program within the Air Force Department of Defense. Outside of work\, she cherishes spending time with her husband and two children\, enjoying sports\, family activities\, and all things related to her daughters’ interests. \nRSVP at https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/ZGkh3n4uSfeyRi9uO1DSmw
