Brooklyn McCally love seeing your updates! I confess that I am a data and math nerd, so this topic is dear to my heart! While most decisions are made with very emotional and subjective processes, the BEST decisions are formulated with data. The WHY should always be rooted in clear data, NOT because it feels right OR because last time it/we failed. Data provides the ROOT of the decision BUT ALSO the structure and management matrix for the execution process to guide us along the way to successful implementation. This is a key point as we begin to deploy AI tools in our decision-making processes. For Auto-Bake's business of high-speed bakery equipment design, MACHINE LEARNING is able to aggregate and analyze large data sets from tens to hundreds of different input points along a production line to capably perform autonomous, incremental adjustments to optimize production in real-time without operator assistance. Successes and failures are evaluated sometimes in milliseconds and immediate adjustments are automatically made. Over a long block of time our process is optimized. I also love that you are in an environment at Accenture where mentorship with open and transparent dialogue is supported. There is a balance between struggling over an obstacle on your own and knowing when to get immediate help. Taking the data driven example above, if our customer's production line is down, and let's say that line makes $10,000/hr, speed to solution is mission critical. This means if any of our technicians need assistance they know to ask immediately. However, let's say that you are struggling over how to illustrate a data set in the type of graph that best tells your WHY, do you go to your supervisor immediately or do you use other tools like the HELP function or HOW TO videos from the internet first? PEOPLE are not MACHINES so how we interact with each other requires more than data; we require SOCIAL IQ. If you keep interrupting your supervisor OR best tech resource EVERY time you get stumped: 1) Analytically you are making them less efficient at their job and thus costing the company money. 2) Socially you have become annoying and appear incapable of growing/maturing as a professional. Stay humble, work hard, and be confident in your persistence. Failure is a product of quitting, and success is a product of many decisions made NOT to quit. Find love in everything that you do, and you will be successful at what you love! I will NEVER quit on YOU, and love you more than you will ever truly know!
