Pepper Construction Group’s Post

It’s #HPEDiscover week and Moor Insights & Strategy analysts are present and accounted for. Check our coverage here by Will Townsend, Matthew Kimball and Patrick Moorhead.

You have to look through all of the "noise" to find the answers! Spending the week at the Knoxville office of Fractional Executive Solutions LLC and I can see the Tennessee River through the trees. Hard to see now and impossible to see in the summer. But it's there. This may be a cliche, but in #operationsmanagement , you need to look at all of the data and facts and not make a rash decision on emotion. You can make a quick decision but make it with as much data as you can get. If you look hard enough, the answers are there. The river is there: you have to look for it 😉 Happy Thanksgiving! #ceo #privateequity #advisoryboard #smallbusiness #dfwbusiness #construction

HiPPO =Highest Paid Person’s Opinion Acronym coined back in 2006, it's still a true story. This concept highlights an organization's reliance on human instinct over data in decision-making processes. Jim Barksdale, speaking about Data vs HiPPO, said "If we have data, let’s look at data. If all we have are opinions, let’s go with mine." Not only HiPPOs make judgable decisions, but, above all, disregard the wisdom of the crowd, overlook the front-line staff's abilities, and risk disengaging the workforce. #thinkingdifferent #successmindset #diversity

MCKINSEY’S FINEST WORK YET: A $4M STUDY TO DETERMINE IF TRASH BINS ARE BETTER THAN LEAVING GARBAGE ON NYC STREETS (SPOILER ALERT: YES) To be fair, the deck is actually interesting (link in first comment) but the thought of freshly minted grads getting billed at obscene hourly rates to tell the city of New York that “put garbage in bins so that rats don’t congregate around it and people can walk” is another example that McKinsey & Company’s real asset is its brand. You hire McKinsey for them to say what you want them to say, and you give them money to have a fancy study with the McKinsey logo on it. #nyc #consulting #mckinsey #government #presentation #casestudy

A Big thanks to Mark Williams-Cook Sevi M. and everyone at Candour for having me at #SearchNorwich last night. I had a blast doing my Mechanics Of Storytelling For Marketers presentation - with a bit of an audience workshop in the middle. The presentation breaks down the elements of what makes a story to provide a framework for people writing pitches, social media, blogs and emails. I'm not a proper SEO but I work with SEOs - people who are amazing at data. The challenge is often how to turn that data into something that a non-SEO can understand. I love working with our Head of SEO Amy Baker to turn data into compelling stories - reports and recommendations for our clients. I hoped that my presentation would help SEOs to better communicate their findings and recommendations to stakeholders, from writers to clients. #contentmarketing #storytelling #brandstorytelling #writing #content #SEO

How cool is this?! I've known since we started The Goodland Group that our clients move forward with our advice at a much greater rate than industry averages (which I think hover around 25%, but I can't find that stat so don't quote me), and now I have the data to see it! We've been using Knudge with our clients for the last couple of years to track action steps, and of over 2,000 action steps, our clients have completed 82% of them so far. (The remaining action steps are still active.) Also this post is not sponsored, I just use Knudge and like it, and I love being able to see this data on implementation. #I❤️data
