I attending the inaugural MeasureCamp New York<\/a> in the weekend. It’s a kind of unconference, where the participants set the agenda. I haven’t been to one in at least 12 years?! They were popular early Web 2.0 era, as kind of a way to connect with this emerging digital community you were taking part in. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And post-covid, I think it’s the same thing, to get out and reconnect with the community. One aspect I like, is this is in the weekend. You kind of have to care about it, to get away for a day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How it works is, there is a board, with session times & rooms. You simply take a card and put your session up. Typically eyeing up what else is on at that time, because hey you don’t want to miss out. Quite neat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best sessions tend to be those that are come up with on the day, based on demand\/discussion or seeing gaps in the topics. These are often smaller groups and end up mainly conversations. And this environment is SO conducive for that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And in New Zealand, more of them were like that, at least the ones I went to. This one though, folks were way more were prepared with some slick presentations (which is fine!). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I did a little session on ‘How to be more strategic’ pulling the thread on a recent LinkedIn post<\/a> I did. If you speak with a wide slice of data & analytics folks, or peruse Reddit. Many are complaining about getting in modes of reactivity or being drowned with requests. And so sharing these, as a way to help elevate the teams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The idea is to help give some tools or skills to get these teams to a better place. I pulled the slides together on the Path train on the way over. Thank goodness for Keynote. And managed to do a few tidy ups once I got there. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I promised I’d share the slides, here they are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/object>How-to-be-more-strategic<\/a>Download<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

For future revisions to this presentation, I think I would, add more examples, build a template for the data brief. Expand on the reading. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maybe some suggestions might be on an individual level getting mentors, or bringing in my coffee onboarding approach. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I would have loved to do a session on building machine learning models, or building analytics products, reducing cognitive load in analytics. But maybe for the next one!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to Jason Packer<\/a> for getting it on my radar, I had completely missed it. If you get a chance to get along to an Unconference, give it a try, it’s a bit weird to start with but by the end you’ll have had a good time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
