Episode notes

Emily Atnelipi is the director of data at a New York-based tech company. She says it's easier to get things done if you have a supporting manager on board. When she first started working there, her team was being held back by other staff because they didn't know how to do their job properly. But with an internal blog that could be easily read and organized, people were less likely to hold them back from doing their work.

If you're like most data workers, you probably spend a little bit of time reacting to and servicing data requests, a bit more time on some larger analysis projects, and then you've got a big pile of free time where you're wondering what else you should be doing. Oh. No? You're absolutely drowning in work and questioning whether you're actually providing value? Yeah. That's actually much more common. We were just kidding with that opener. The great news, though, is that Emilie Schario joined us to talk about different tactics (strategies?) for finding the capacity to do more and better work, regardless of your level in your organization.
