Making promises.

If you missed the live event Friday afternoon- you can still catch the replay: High Performing Data Teams: From Architecture to Analytics

———————-

The other day I asked you, “What’s your promise to the business?”

As a data team, what is the business expecting from you?

You had some thoughtful answers. Here’s the one thing that is clear: your work as the leader of a data team gets far easier when you have clarity about this question.

• You know how to handle conflicting requests from leadership.

• You can see the best way to communicate new budget requests.

• You have tools for prioritizing data projects.

• You can receive criticism and critique with a thoughtful perspective.

• You can clearly say This is what we are here for.

And it lets other distractions fall aside.

We aren’t ticket-takers

We are analysts who shape business outcomes

We aren’t report builders.

We are integrated data into decision making.

It let’s you cast a clear vision of how what others can expect of your team.

Your promise to the business is your north star.

An anchor. An identity.

To give you clarity when you need it about yourself.

And when other’s need clarity about you.

I’m here,

Sawyer
