Yup completely agree. I was hired to do that. Dive in their data, old and new, in my current company.
I got insight. I got valuable answers. And when i brought them up they said "uh yeah but we can't change it. It is a political decision. You don't have some QuickWin to show that you are useful ?"
I found things to do... but it is not the core of the problem. I am lucky my boss is quite high on the hierarchy and may be convinced to attack that core problem. But it will take a looooong time.
- kfk 10y agoCore problems take months or years, depending on who gets involved. But low hanging fruits are everywhere and you should exploit them to gain credit and credibility. Just don't implement solutions that fix a small issue but then introduce even more technical debt (i.e.: coding a custom access database for non technical users).
- di4na 10y agothing is, most of the time low hanging fruits are the only thing they solved during the past 10 years. They are now stucked with core problems. And no, most of them would not take long time. They just need a political decision, but could be solved in a couple days.
