Do you have a great idea you want to move forward and you need others to buy in?

Maybe you want to improve a process or implement a new analysis approach. Your business partner might be your study team or your supervisor.

Whenever, we want to change something, we usually need others to agree into the next steps.

5 steps to present successfully to upper management about complex stats (and everything else)!

By Reine Escalona on 2021-01-26 0

Should we oversimplify statistics, or should managers learn more about statistics?

If you’ve been working as a statistician for a while, you know that you have to keep it simple if you want managers to understand you. Of course, I speak about those managers not being statisticians themselves.

There are a lot of ways to explain statistical concepts to them, but this adds time to the presentation. Sometimes there won’t even be a presentation, and all you have is sending the report via email.

From reading, from my experience, and from talking to other experienced statisticians, I have distilled the knowledge about this challenge into 5 steps.

Listen to this episode and learn about the 5 steps to present successfully to your upper management:

Do you want to think and act more strategically?

By Reine Escalona on 2021-01-19 0

Interview with Swarna Khare

Outside of statistics departments, we are often seen as tactical and operational implementers. This branding makes it hard for statisticians to be included in strategic discussions. This limits our ability to influence the organizations and projects. It can even lead to entire departments being outsourced or not appropriately funded because of this terrible reputation. I’m long on a journey to fight against this branding. This journey also requires us statisticians to learn about thinking and acting strategically.

Thus, I’m thrilled to talk with Swarna Khare about this topic. Swarna is a long-term listener of the effective statistician and today, it is a great opportunity for her to share with us the ways to think and act more strategic.

Knowledge sharing and what it means for you

By Reine Escalona on 2020-12-15 0

Interview with Nelson

Knowledge sharing is close to my heart and Nelson, who is a very knowledgeable statistician, has shared a lot of articles in LinkedIn and on his website.

Nelson has always been keen to learn from others and share that knowledge broadly, so we’ll be exploring similarities and differences in how he’s seen that be achieved in different circumstances.

We also discuss about the following points:

8 steps to make a smart decision

By Reine Escalona on 2020-06-16 0

Imagine you need to choose a comparator for a head-to-head study. How do we usually approach it?

  • Debate
  • Meetings
  • More meetings with other stakeholders
  • Creating a slide deck
  • Revising the slide deck
  • Getting into time pressure
  • Getting conflicting feedback
  • Let’s just make a recommendation and find the data that supports this

In today’s episode, we discuss how to manage problems with efficiency, clarity, logic, consistency, alignment, and speed. You’ll learn about the 8 steps to make a smart decision:
