The Environment I Want to Work in
Posted on | December 22, 2010 | Comments Off
What I bring to an organization, beyond my passion and zeal towards efforts that drive results, is my ability to collect, organize, analyze and present data in a manner that is easy to understand and digest.
Reporting for reporting sake is a waste of time.
The point is to use the data to drive decisions and businesses need a lot of help with this. Additionally I know as much about driving leads as I do about analytics and over the years have combined my skills to drive measurable success. My measures of success are to improve the both the bottom line and exceed executive expectations.
I follow a few basic steps to reach success online and those work regardless of the size of the internet presence or the size of the organization.
I treat every project as an opportunity to problem solve and regardless of the size or scope of the project I take the the following project management steps to ensure an outcome of success.
- I find out the scope of the project and establish the governance for the project.
- I make direct contact with all of the stakeholders and gather their requirements, particularly their top 3 measures of success for the project.
- I establish a method of communication with the stakeholders and am particularly fond of a Sharepoint type platform to communicate and assist with the following tasks.
- I establish a method to gather, develop, edit, store, and present documentation.
- I survey the organization for data sources and establish connections to them.
- I establish the manner of analysis.
- I set up presentation methods. Besides the ability to manage documentation how data is presented is crucial for success in utilizing the data. The communications platform can be used to present data through dashboards and hosted reports using methods the stakeholders are comfortable with.
- I establish a feedback loop so data, analysis and communication is constantly circulating.
My dream position will accept this as my manner of doing business and will thrive within it. During my time with Webtrends I had the opportunity to gather requirements from several enterprise and government organizations and learned during those experiences the value of maintaining the process described above to ensure success.
I would love to work with a company that values the importance of a system of governance to structure the use of data in order to succeed with an online presence. Of equal importance to me is how the company values the use of data to make decisions and whether the position is executive sanctioned. A successful project comes down to understanding the needs of the stakeholders and appreciating their measures of success then following through and giving them what they need, all of it measurable.
