Data models save businesses millions. But no one asks for them. Here’s why that’s a problem… As analysts, we focus on delivering what the business asks for. But sometimes the most valuable deliverables are never requested. Data models are the perfect example. I’ve NEVER been asked to create a data model by non-technical leaders. Yet in almost every analytics project, they’re absolutely essential. The challenge? You’ll never get a dedicated week to build them. So how do successful analysts make it happen? – One piece at a time. – Take small steps. Make constant adjustments. – Don’t wait for the perfect moment or a big reveal. Keep it in the background as your secret weapon. This simple approach has saved me countless hours and helped us deliver more accurate insights. Have you found other “invisible necessities” in your analytics work that leaders never request but you can’t succeed without? All the Best, Tucker |
