"How many firms expect data to be maintained and managed by one person?"

We believe everyone has a spot on the data team. Every person has a role to play, as an editor, auditor, analyst, consumer, leader, or officer.

We're thrilled to have Courtney Kearney and Erica Curtis' article, "Data Management Is a Team Sport," included in the latest issue of . They had some fun with the sports analogies! 😆

👻 Trick: Your data visualizations are not impressing your audience.

Turn it into a treat: Think about the audience before analyzing the data.

Emily Hawarah, guest data nerd at the October Data Dialogue with Courtney says: "The first thing I want to do is ask a million questions about who's going to see this? What do they know? How do they receive information? Who are they? What effect do they have on our ultimate outcome? Before you even start to understand the data that you have, you really need to start from that lens of your end user."

👻 Trick: Search engine optimization is vital, but feels impossible.

Turn it into a treat: Use what you know and create great content.

Perryn Olson, guest data nerd at the July Data Dialogue with Courtney says: "Build out the ideal client profile and start writing content for that ideal profile. Talk to your customers' pain points. Clients are looking for answers when they're doing basic research. You can guide them through the journey."

👻 Trick: Your proposals are getting lost in the crowd.

Turn it into a treat: Distill and simplify your data.

Julie Shaffer, guest data nerd at the April Data Dialogue with Courtney says: "Let's not just vomit data everywhere, actually distill it down. Don't make your client do the work. Simplify and lean into your win themes, lean into your differentiators. The human element has never been as important as it is now."

Are you staring down this CRM fright? 👻

Trick: Your coworkers think entering data into the CRM system is a waste of time.

Turn it into a treat: Explain why you're asking.

Chaz Ross-Munro says: "Double down on the why. Start off with your why whenever you’re doing your emails out to everyone or your short training videos. It’s just repetition. You think 'I’ve said this five times' but you’re going to have to say it 10, 15, 20. It’s really people understanding the importance of it, and what you’re going to do with that data, and how you’re going to use it to win more work."

Are you struggling to find help maintaining the firm's data?

Here's what Courtney Kearney says: Tie it to something meaningful, useful, or helpful.

"Getting commitment to maintenance requires you to tie the data to either their workflow or something that they need. If you are seeing a need to reengage user commitment, it’s an indicator that there’s something missing. Maybe they don’t understand why it’s being used, or maybe they don’t understand the why behind needing to fill out that information."

In CKC's new interview series, Data Dialogues, Courtney talks to a special guest about some aspect of data in AEC. In honor of Halloween, we handpicked nuggets of expert advice to combat five common CRM and data scares.
