Work that Honed my Decision Making
Leaders often need to tackle complex challenges and answer big, ambiguous questions. They need to make decisions that drive the direction of teams and organizations. To do that, it can help to follow a methodical process to define the problem, figure out what you need in order to solve the problem, collect that data, analyze it, and form an opinion on what to do next. These are the fundamental steps of analysis and evaluation. The projects below helped strengthen my ability to approach complex problems and make decisions based on a systematic process of data collection and analysis.
An analysis project that taught me how to better understand a learner's needs and make business decisions based on collected data.
An evaluation project that taught me how to shape an evaluation question, collect data, and use it to make recommendations on how to improve a program.
