Flipping the Curve

Inside the head of an Analyst

When you are working with gathering and analyzing information to create a report or a presentation you tend to follow a process. Often that starts with gathering information from sources you select from searches or directly from sources you trust. Gathering information tends to occupy the main part of your initial work. After a while, you have lots of documents to go through and spend significant time trying to organize and find the relevant data in them.

When you are finally done with gathering and organizing all data, the deadline is quickly approaching and you wished you had more time to really think different hypotheses through and follow a specific method. Instead, the deadline for the report or presentation is approaching so you decide you’d better start writing that document or presentation slide deck. It is hard to get it to look right so you find yourself spending lots of time on this step as well.

Presentation time

Finally, it is time for the presentation and you realize that you wished you had more time to think your conclusions through. You get some questions about sources and content but the material is too static to allow for any deeper discussions. You also realize that you really should repurpose the content into several versions tailored to different audiences and situations. An executive brief, an interactive animation, a short podcast segment, and an intranet article. You wonder how you would find time to do that. You tell them you will come back in a couple of days with some additional material.

Do you recognize yourself?
