33 Tangents - Episode #156 - Employee Autonomy and PTO

April 21, 2021 14:05 - 45 minutes - 84 MB

Two years ago in the episode “Is Unlimited Time Off Actually Unlimited?”, Jim, Hila, and Jason took a hard look at the concept of unlimited PTO to see if it’s something employees find valuable or just a gimmick.  They left that conversation genuinely questioning the value of “unlimited” PTO.   In the time since, Jim and Jason have discussed the topic several time through multiple means, most recently on Twitter.   On this week’s episode of the 33 Tangents Podcast, Jim and Jason continue ...

April 14, 2021 14:00 - 53 minutes - 97.1 MB

With everyone, both employees and employers, getting a taste of over the last year the move to remote work seems to be accelerating.   More employees are asking for it and some employers have started talking about remote work being a permanent part of the way the company does business.

On this week’s episode of the 33 Tangents Podcast, Jason and Jim discuss the ever changing dynamic of th...

33 Tangents - Episode #154 - Data That Is Nothing More Than A Distraction

April 07, 2021 14:00 - 39 minutes - 73.2 MB

We’ve all experienced the situation with a client where we know the data they are talking about is nothing more than a distraction.  It can be data that they have identified as needing to be collected or data they already collect.   When asked about it, you get the response that “just might need it in the future”. On this week’s episode of 33 Tangents, Jim and Jason talk about their experience with this, the risks, and the warning signs that the data will either be a distraction or a new t...

33 Tangents - Episode #152 - The Toxic Cesspool that is Social Media

March 24, 2021 14:00 - 53 minutes - 97.9 MB

It’s not a far stretch to say that the current state of social media is that of a toxic cesspool.  Many would say that that the social media platforms that are widely used today started out with the good intention of enabling people to connect with greater easy and frequency. Today social media allows people to isolate in bias confirming echo chambers.  It has devalued relationships to where they are only valued by number of friends and number of likes.   On this week’s episode of 33 Tange...

March 17, 2021 14:32 - 48 minutes - 89.6 MB

33 Tangents - Episode #149 - Embracing Learning from Mistakes and How That Can Propel Your Testing Program

March 03, 2021 14:00 - 50 minutes - 93.4 MB

It seems like there is a great deal of talk about the importance of learning from mistakes.  The problem with that however is that most people are so fearful that they do everything they can to either avoid making mistakes or to hide them when they do happen.  People do not feel encouraged to take calculated risks that will provide opportunities to learn? Why is this the case?  Why is there talk about it but fear when faced with it?  How can this overall mindset within an organization impac...

33 Tangents - Episode #146 - Answering Listener Questions

February 10, 2021 14:41 - 47 minutes - 86.4 MB

How do you explain to your organization’s leadership that the work involved with an analytics implementation is never finished?  That it’s not something that is “set it and forget it”?   How do you tell a client that their analytics foundation is incredibly flawed and needs to be rebuilt? On this week’s episode of 33 Tangents, Jim and Jason answer some questions from listeners.   THANK YOU We know your time is limited, so it means a lot to us that you would spend some of your time with ...

33 Tangents - Episode #145 - The So-Called “Cookie-less” Future

February 03, 2021 14:17 - 44 minutes - 81.5 MB

It feels like we have another round of “all cookies are dying” conversations happening again.  Companies are being pushed to adopt some sort of server side technology now or all data will be lost.   What is actually happening?  What is the truth?  Is it all fear, uncertainty, and doubt or is there some legitimacy to it?  Do companies need to jump immediately or is there still time to see how things develop? On this week’s episode of 33 Tangents, Jim and Jason discuss what they’re seeing, w...

If you have found this episode to be va...

33 Tangents - Episode #143 - Ensuring Remote Work Does Not Become Toxic

January 20, 2021 14:00 - 56 minutes - 103 MB

Remote work has become the norm for office workers over the last 9 months.  Many will be working remotely full time, or the majority of the time, for another 6-9 months.   Those that had been working remotely in the years prior to 2020 experienced a great deal of freedom to design their day.  Lately, however, we’ve started seeing companies turning the remote work setup into a bastardized & micro-managed version of the office.   How do we ensure that remote work does not become toxic and th...

November 20, 2020 14:00 - 49 minutes - 89.9 MB

In the business world, there are two schools of thought about a person’s work and personal lives and it’s a constant debate.   One side of the argument believes that you should keep your personal life out and completely separate from your work life.  The other believes that combining the two help build strong bonds with those that you work with.

November 13, 2020 16:51 - 48 minutes - 89.3 MB

33 Tangents - Episode #130 - Re-examining Unlimited PTO

October 23, 2020 14:00 - 47 minutes - 87.3 MB

The concept of unlimited PTO has always been polarizing.  Some see it as a great benefit while others see it as a bait and switch.  In an episode in July 2019 we asked the question if unlimited time off it truly unlimited.  Recently there was a debate on Twitter on the actual benefit of unlimited PTO which made us want to revisit the topic. Do employees really see the benefit of unlimited PTO?  Is it everything that is promised?  Are there employers that genuinely want their employees to ha...

October 16, 2020 14:00 - 49 minutes - 91.3 MB

When we have an idea, we envision the perfect version of the outcome.  This vision, while inspiring, can also create a state of paralysis.  We don’t want to produce anything less than that pristine vision not realizing that the imperfect iterations that come before are necessary to reach that state. What is the difference between imperfect and incomplete?  Why do we often miss that so many others had to take small, iterative steps to get where they are now?  On this week’s episode of the 33...

33 Tangents - Episode #127 - The Proper Ratio Of Technology, People, and Strategy, Part 2

October 02, 2020 14:00 - 52 minutes - 96.6 MB

On this week’s episode of 33 Tangents, we continue the conversation we had a few weeks ago regarding the proper ratio of technology to people.   As a traditional analyst, a person would set aside 70%-80% of my time to clean, wrangle, re-align data.  Digital analytics promised the analyst that it would be solved for and the need to spend so much time prepping would be reduced drastically.  We’re treating digital analytics like traditional analytics and forcing the analyst to do a massive am...

September 25, 2020 14:00 - 1 hour - 112 MB

Working remotely offers a great deal of freedom and flexibility which can take many different forms.  It can be working from various different co-working locations or coffee shops so the person is not always at the home office all the way up to taking extended road trips with the family and doing work along the way.     The problem that is faced by many remote workers is that they often get buried in their work they forget to take advantage of it.  Instead feeling from the corporate office...

September 18, 2020 14:00 - 53 minutes - 97.8 MB

33 Tangents - Episode #120 - The Proper Ratio of People, Technology, and Strategy

August 14, 2020 14:00 - 54 minutes - 99 MB

In 2006 Avinash published his 90/10 rule for success in web analytics: for every $10 a company spent on analytics technology, they should spend $90 on people to use it.  His argument was that while companies had “great investements” in analytics they struggled to use it to make meaningful decisions.  The cause?  All of that investment was made in the technology and not those who would run it.   All these years later, we still see this with many companies.  Why is it that a large amount of m...

July 24, 2020 14:00 - 57 minutes - 106 MB

Tag managers such as Launch and GTM have lowered the barriers that existed in years past that made deploying new data collection rules difficult.  With lower implementation cost, it’s become easy to justify “just one more thing”.  This can cause people to lose focus on the data that matters and become obsessed with tracking everything possible.   On this week’s episode, Jason, Bryant, and Jim discuss differentiating between what matters and everything else.  What are the metrics that matter...
