??Facilitate open discussions during meetings where everyone can share their views. ??Use collaborative tools like Slack or Google Workspace for asynchronous idea sharing. ??Rotate leadership roles so different members can lead discussions or projects. ??Leverage data and case studies to support various approaches and find common ground. ??Encourage active listening and respect for diverse opinions to foster a collaborative atmosphere. ??Highlight the team's shared goals to focus on solutions rather than differences.

So basically the industry has started moving towards an approach called One Big Table. There are several advantages of this approach such as no need to manage data models and relationships among Facts and Dimensions. That's a controversial topic so I shouldn't speak much on it (haha). Well, try to engage the stakeholders and get their requirements and try to build a robust solution. And, All Set!

When it comes to data modeling, differing perspectives are essential to building robust solutions. In situations like this, I prioritize creating an open space where every voice is valued. First, I encourage team members to present their approach along with the underlying logic, highlighting both pros and cons. This fosters a culture of respect and helps us all learn from diverse expertise. Then, I facilitate structured discussions, ensuring no one dominates the conversation. By focusing on shared goals and aligning our approaches with project requirements, we’re able to make well-informed decisions together, integrating the best aspects of each model for an optimized outcome.

In my experience overseeing multiple OpCos, collaborating with internal teams and vendor partners, aligning diverse motivations & approaches is never without challenges. I focus on creating a culture of respect & empathy, ensuring every voice is heard & valued. Open forums, active listening, aligning on collective goals & build unity. Avoid finger-pointing & encourage others to do same, prioritizing understanding individual needs and situations. Avoid lip-service. Recognizing contributions of all— Group, OpCo, Partners—essential to fostering trust & collaboration. I feel a moral responsibility to shine a light on those working behind scenes. This approach has transformed challenges into opportunities, delivering results benefiting all.
