MineThatData Radio #2: The Worst Mistake Of My Entire Career

Again - if you are a data-centric analyst/manager, then this podcast series is for you. And in today's podcast, you'll learn all about the worst mistake of my entire career!

FYI - I won't be posting most of the podcasts on the blog - if you are interested in the podcasts, I recommend you visit Soundcloud and subscribe (click here please). If you don't see the podcast player below, then click here and you'll be set up shortly.

MineThatData Radio!

If you are employed in the Analytics field, as an Analyst or a Manager, then my new podcast series is designed for you!

MineThatData Radio will be a podcast series that focuses on key topics in the field of "Data". This first episode will address a concept called "Data Driven", a vendor-centric term that encourages employees to change company culture by getting all employees to focus on decision that are driven by data. Well, we all know that doesn't work!! I talk about the topic in this podcast ... and I address listener questions at the end of the podcast.

In future podcasts, I will explore the interaction between analytically minded Analysts/Managers and Executives. This is where the rubber meets the road ... and it is a concept that is virtually ignored. Having been an Analyst/Manager/Director for 13 years and and Executive-level individual for nearly 15 years, I can see both sides of the coin.

If you have a question for future podcasts ... please send me the question (kevinh@minethatdata.com).

Here is the podcast - posted on Soundcloud (click here for my page if you like or if you cannot see the Soundcloud player below). 

MineThatData Radio - #Omnichannel / #shoporg13 Edition

Loyal MineThatData followers - here's something new for you - it's the first episode of MineThatData Radio!

In this first episode, I talk about one of the themes at this year's Shop.org conference - Omnichannel! It's just me, sharing a lot of information about omnichannel, based on an awful lot of project work conducted over the past few years.

Today's episode is all business, and for good reason - omnichannel is a big topic. In future episodes, you may find a little business humor sprinkled in as well.

VENDORS - CONSULTANTS - POTENTIAL INTERVIEWEES

I'm going to do something different with MineThatData Radio. I am repeatedly hounded by folks who want free access to this blog ... "your readers would love to learn how we helped a brand increase engagement by 943%, please publish this guest post immediately, and thanks for your help."

Within the radio show, and only within the radio show, I am willing to conduct interviews, as long as they are beneficial to the audience who chooses to listen to MineThatData Radio. And I am willing to interview anybody - CEOs, EVPs, Vendors, Web Analysts at Williams Sonoma, Independent Consultants, Trade Journalists.

If you would like the opportunity to share what you've learned about customer behavior, to an audience of 2,500 blog subscribers, 4,900 Twitter followers, and the 325,000 folks who've previously visited the MineThatData Blog (shared only via MineThatData Radio, not through any other content here on this blog), here's the conditions for inclusion - email me (kevinh@minethatdata.com) answers to the following questions:

1. What is the topic you wish to discuss? The topic must be related to e-commerce, retailing, modern catalog marketing, or analytics. I'm not going accept "Eight Ways Social Media Can Turbocharge Your Business", or "Four Ways To Optimize Your Website For Breakthrough Performance" or "Six Ways That Mobile Changes Everything Forever" or "Twenty-Nine Ways That Gen-Y Engages With Content". That stuff is nonsense. You must bring your A-game to MineThatData Radio.
2. What is the case study or information you will point to, in order to prove that whatever you want to talk about is important and will generate an increase in profitability? If you are a printer, and you have a new format for direct mail, and a client got an 11% increase in response over a control, you're well on your way to being on the show. If you are a web analyst, and you have a new way of analyzing data that my clients can benefit from, you are well on your way to being on the show. If you are an e-commerce vendor, and you increased conversion rates for a large client by 9%, and you are willing to share specific, in-the-weeds details, you'll be considered.
3. How might you promote the podcast and MineThatData services, where appropriate?

Answers to the three questions listed above are mandatory for consideration. Following consideration, I promise to be respectful, honest, kind, to not demean you, and to give your thoughts a fair hearing. Hopefully, you will enjoy the experience.

Let's give this a try, folks!
