00:15:11 Cyndy Porter: Business Intelligence that a difference in peoples lives. 00:15:24 Alison Cardy: Everybody in any industry has shiny object syndrome. 00:15:51 Cyndy Porter: Mindset of what you have is enough 00:16:42 Alison Cardy: A new manager gets hired and they come with ideas of what to use. 00:17:28 Cyndy Porter: Building on what you already have instead of inventing new tools 00:18:02 Alison Cardy: Sometimes people think that you could solve it by just bringing in more bodies. 00:18:22 Cyndy Porter: Building intelligence is a complex process 00:18:24 Alison Cardy: It's not just applying the tools to the data, but understanding what needs to be measured here. 00:18:37 Cyndy Porter: Why are you measuring what you are measuring 00:18:52 Cyndy Porter: What is the outcome you are looking for 00:19:16 Cyndy Porter: Ask the best questions of your data so you get the best results 00:19:34 Alison Cardy: It's so important to understand why you are measuring what you're measuring. Your answers are as good as the questions you ask. 00:20:07 Alison Cardy: Does that mean you have happier customers? 00:21:34 Alison Cardy: If you don't have clean data, you may as well not have data. 00:22:49 Alison Cardy: It's not enough to just get a visualization tool. 00:24:00 Cyndy Porter: IT and user departments are in harmony 00:26:10 Cyndy Porter: How to elevate your business in intelligent ways 00:26:50 Alison Cardy: We're just going to help them elevate that or bring expertise to get the most out of the tools. Make sure IT and user departments are actually in harmony. One of our major tracks is our customers showing our other customers what to do. There is no limit to the questions you ask when you run your business. You wouldn't think to do that unless someone else did it and they showed you they way. 00:27:23 Cyndy Porter: For us it’s all about partnership 00:27:39 Alison Cardy: They can't be coming to us for a transaction. Looking in the same direction. 00:28:30 Alison Cardy: Cyndy: 00:29:14 Yolande Grill: Cyndy: I help women over 40 who are starting or already working on a business with purpose and we work on personal branding and … 00:29:25 Yolande Grill: operate in the world with confidence. 00:30:01 Yolande Grill: a lot of them don't know that somebody like me exists. 00:30:08 Alison Cardy: Often the problem I solve as a starting place is something that they just learn to live with. 00:30:44 Alison Cardy: I don't have to live with this accepted way of operating. 00:32:13 Yolande Grill: Alison: what happens if you don't pay attention to style and brand? Cyndy: 7 seconds to make an impression. Only 4% of the women in the world feel beautiful... I want to change that... 00:33:26 Yolande Grill: Cyndy: other people judge us based on how we look - whether we like it or not. Often in an unconscious level - it impacts people's ability to succeed. 00:33:58 Alison Cardy: They've given up on how they look. Only 4% of women in the world believe their beautiful. People are making quick decisions about us at an unconscious level. Most personal shoppers are trained in clothes and outfits. Who are you? What are your values? What's important to you? 00:34:43 Yolande Grill: Cyndy: we start with...who are you, what are your values, how do you want the world to see you. Clothing is a tool. 00:34:50 Alison Cardy: We don't look like the mannequin. We all look different. 00:35:38 Yolande Grill: Cyndy: much more empowering to teach you how to do it for yourself (what to choose to wear). Starting from the inside out. 00:36:57 Alison Cardy: A lot of people think that it shouldn't matter. I wish the world operated like that and it just doesn't. We are hardwired to judge everything first based on aesthetics. We could wish the world were different, but they aren't going to listen to us. 00:37:29 Yolande Grill: Cyndy: a lot of women think it shouldn't matter. When we decide that we don't want to play the game, it's the same as saying I don't care if my website is a mess... but that's a barrier to success... we wish the world was different... but they won't listen to us if we don't look the part... all the soft extra stuff has been proven to have a higher weight to our success than just the technical skills. 00:38:23 Alison Cardy: Really understanding the end result is a great place to start. 00:39:22 Yolande Grill: Cyndy: ask some hard questions... when I walk into a room, what image do I project. Where am I and where do I want to get to. the Gap. 00:41:02 Alison Cardy: Am I misunderstood? Is there a reason people don't listen to me? When I walk into a room, what image do you think I project? Inside and outside, both matter and investing in having somebody help me. 00:41:06 Yolande Grill: Cyndy: most people who are successful continue to invest in their learning. 00:41:35 Yolande Grill: showing up as a complete package. 00:44:21 Alison Cardy: It's not a forever process. I'm really not looking to tell someone what to do. My ideal client is happy to have constructive feedback, willing to embrace change. They're really wanting to learn and grow. 00:44:25 Alison Cardy: Mathieu 00:45:24 Alison Cardy: You have a mindset somewhat defined by your industry. 00:45:51 Cyndy Porter: One problem is lack of empathy 00:46:05 Yolande Grill: Mathieu: everyone comes from the perspective they know - the mindset defined by your industry and also your team within the organization - people may lack empathy - they don't see that others can be looking at the exact same problem but from a different perspective (incentives). 00:46:24 Yolande Grill: it could also be that simply your worldviews are different. 00:46:48 Yolande Grill: using simpler language and less jargon! 00:47:21 Alison Cardy: 10 years, hard to explain at 101 level. 00:48:34 Alison Cardy: They tend to lose sight of what the company wants to accomplish. They come into the meeting thinking about what their department wants to accomplish. 00:48:54 Yolande Grill: "the sum of all parts should be the goal!" ~Mathieu 00:50:07 Alison Cardy: There might be weeks that have passed by. 00:51:11 Yolande Grill: Facilitators should remind everyone what the overall objective is... 00:51:37 Cyndy Porter: Straying from your team goals is to work on the overall goal of the company 00:53:55 Yolande Grill: you need someone with Curiosity - you have to have it yourself in order to instill it in others. ~Mathieu 00:54:22 Yolande Grill: the inner desire to learn something else. 00:56:14 Yolande Grill: the importance of diversity... 00:56:47 Alison Cardy: Nobody takes real ownership of the project. Somebody with curiosity and an appetite for learning. It's healthy to have some amount of turnover and diversity. Diversity of career paths. 20 ex Nike ppl I like to challenge the status quo.
