In the Data world, we often emphasize more on technical skills. The more time we spend on it, we realize that technical skills are not enough. Business Acumen skills are getting important. While hiring, Companies are also looking for a mix of technical and soft skills. When we present our analysis, Stakeholders care about the results and how they will impact the business. Managing stakeholder expectations is another important thing to do. By understanding stakeholder needs we can set realistic goals and deliverables. We need to communicate our findings in an effective way avoiding complex technical details. We need to build strong relationships and trust with stakeholders. We do not get paid for fancy dashboards. It is all about how much value we are adding to the business. Keeping stakeholders informed about project progress, challenges, and results helps in maintaining transparency and trust.

When a utility company struggled to fill specialized technical roles through their existing staffing channels, we stepped in with a tailored approach that made all the difference. By aligning directly with the client’s CTO, we placed 27 skilled professionals across: ?? Project Management ?? Engineering ?? Data ?? Business Analysis — in record time.

I made the leap and retrained as a Business Analyst, and it's one of the best decisions I've ever made. Each day is filled with new challenges and the chance to make a tangible impact. It’s not just the work that’s rewarding, but also the peace of mind that comes with being in a field where opportunities are plentiful. The demand for Business Analysts in New Zealand is not just a trend; it's a reflection of the essential role we play in bridging technology and business strategy. The scope for BAs is expansive and ever-growing. Every business uses data, and looks to technological improvement and advancement for growth. BAs can also be an incredible resource for strategic thinking and research. For those considering a similar path, I say, go for it! The variety of work, the capacity to drive change, and the security of being in a high-demand field make it a career choice I wholeheartedly endorse. https://lnkd.in/gP2r5uwJ #BusinessAnalysis #CareerChange #JobSatisfaction #NewZealandJobs #CareerGrowth

Avoid Common Pitfalls in Job Architecture Job architecture projects are challenging and complex for any organization. They have the potential to improve employee attraction, engagement, and retention. Employees don’t just want to be paid what they are worth. They also want a clear understanding of how they can grow and develop their career. Pitfall #1 is governance. Without it, the decision-making process around jobs and their standard titling and categorization may be inconsistent. Governance also helps to ensure that what you pay is competitive, equitable, or fair. **Most employers don’t put the governance in place to maintain the job architecture they design and implement. Pitfall #2 is complete and accurate data.? Job architecture projects rely heavily on data analysis.? Accurate data on job titles, responsibilities, and compensation is critical to the project’s success. **Most employers don’t have complete and accurate employee and job data. Pitfall #3 is change management.? These projects involve significant changes to job roles, responsibilities, HR processes, and compensation. This can be disruptive to employees, who may feel that their jobs are being threatened or that their contributions are not being recognized. Organizations may encounter resistance or even outright rejection of the proposed changes. **Most employers don’t invest enough time and energy in developing and executing a change management plan. If you are considering a job architecture project and are worried about how to ensure its success, let’s talk. If you don’t know what a job architecture project entails, we should talk too. It can support your company’s growth and revenue goals. https://lnkd.in/gWTRcWng #jobarchitecture #compensation #rewards #payequity #paytransparency #humanresources #attraction #retention #engagement

Working as a consultant for decades get to see a lot of different clients and work with different teams. Ill be honest, havent seen a lot of failed projects over the years although there have been a few. Why do some data projects fail? Business logic spread out almost impossible to duplicate. In almost every instance the pre sales did not do enough investigation upfront and spaghetti logic discovered after project started. This requires change order in some cases. Other times we just worked faster or smarter. In some cases we walked away. In most if these cases there was somone on the project that perhaps did not want project to succeed for job security. Or project sponsor was so busy with other projects did not have proper oversite. And in rare occassions client was unwilling to budge on scope creep and the attempt was futuile. Opposite, what makes for a good data project! Team alignment. Solid requirements. Support from management. Team was focused toward common mission. Blockers were addressed and solutions found quickly. Motivated teams. Sometimes the difference between project failure and success is minimal. The little differences that may not show up on paper. Yet you know a winning team when you see it. And same for projects in a downward freefall. Minute but critical differences. Abd so it goes~! #data #consulting

Only a few weeks into 2025, I received many consulting requests on how to level up the business manage process for medium size company. Most of business management consultant company is aim for the big company so some practices are not suitable for SME. Here are some steps you need to consider : 1. Data , make sure all the data going into management cockpit is correct & up to date. 2. Ownership, your managers have to have more ownership in the company. 3. Consistency, meeting/schedule/report/people handling/… have to do it as planned&said, no excuse. 4. If you decide to hire a consultant to help you, make sure that he/she used to work in executive management team for some years, not just a theory ! Don’t sure how to start, DM me.

Streamlining Executive Search: Consolidate for Efficiency and Impact I recently partnered with a client using three separate systems for executive search: one for business development, one for candidate sourcing, and another for project management and presentation. This setup was costly, caused data duplication, and impacted reporting accuracy, with critical metrics being lost. We streamlined everything into a single platform, creating a seamless, end-to-end process that cut costs, improved data insights, and enhanced overall efficiency. Is it time to review your tech stack for cost-saving, efficiency, and better results? #recruitmenttech #executivesearch #digitaltransformation

Happy Monday! Following the results of my recent poll, it’s clear that the majority of my network prefers engaging with job ads and posts during weekday mornings—perhaps during your commute to a job that no longer serves you? That said, I’ve also experienced success connecting with individuals over the weekend or outside of traditional working hours. While I completely understand that weekend calls might not always be welcome, it can sometimes be a great opportunity to catch people in a more relaxed moment, away from the busyness of daily life. Of course, there’s no “one-size-fits-all” approach, and I’m always open to feedback on what works best for you.
