- Why statisticians need to be more influential?
- Is influencing actually something bad on inappropriate?
- What characterises an influential person?
- Which practices help statisticians to increase their influence?
- Many statisticians are more introvert. As such, how can they deal with more extrovert business partners from other functions?
- Relationships are key for influencing without authority. Trust is key for building these relationships. What can statisticians do, to generate more trust?
- Networking is another aspect of building relationships. What actions to take to build networks?
