16 March Reflections: Analyst Development Thoughts



Transcribed from hand-written notes-

16 March:

I really need to get my students in long talks and planning for additional training with other analysts on how they want/desire/need the software to do together!!!
Then they need to work together (and with us,) to craft ways to make the optimal outcomes of the systems (again; together) to = reality.

“Success for Them”

 We also need to have “my guys” think through the issues associated with having others do portions of their work on the back-end. (This is to say, what they lose having others without their expertise do some of their background analysis).
We need to have them do a study (like we used to) that will include how they plan to incorporate additional information and coordinate among themselves to on procedures of how they will deal with various system issues and anomalies.
Standardized ways to compose a LOG for their important stuff

Using depth (others, through collaboration…) and history (knowledge learned,) involving analysis- use what you know to exploit (learn from,) what you do not know.
-          Creativity
-          Experimentation
-          Patience – sometimes a lot… a lot of patience coupled with experimentation often yields ‘knowing’
-          Judgement
-          *Confidence + innate ‘gut’ decisions… these may be the hardest to make – separate healthy-knowledge based decision-making from ego-driven ‘well I just know’ perspective
Relaxation of what you think you know and acting upon it & stress to gain knowledge by looking deeper at:

-          Why was this designed this way?
-          Why is what it’s ‘supposed’ to look like, not actually what it looks like? (Not taking for granted ‘the norm’ and looking outside of this)
-          How do I act upon what ‘it was designed to do’ or what ‘it looks like’ vs. what its purpose is supposed to symbolize?

 Me (stuff for me to to work on):

1. Need to draft an email w/ list, assignments, expectations, etc.
2. Survey edits
