A Few Tips on Working From Home

For people who have experience working from home, the massive disruption being caused by COVID19 is probably a little easier to manage.

In today’s economy a large percentage of workers do most of their work from a computer. This of course, gives them the flexibility to keep being productive by using the ever increasing number of tech tools out there to keep going.

Without apps like Skype and Zoom to do conference calls and Monday and Trello to manage projects, we would be in a much more challenging place. Cloud Storage, Cloud based Shared Drives, even shareable versions of MS Office enable our work day.

If you are new to working from home getting up to speed on some of these apps will help you manage your time, keep on track with deliverables, and stay easily in touch with co-workers.

Tech is the easy part.

The lifestyle change is some different entirely.

From my experience and from my experience running a successful business where most of my employees work from home, here are some lifestyle choices I recommend people new to working from home.

Stick to Your Work Schedule.
Take Breaks Just Like You Would in the Office
Keep the TV off
Work in a Quiet Place
Mimic Your Office Set Up
Let In Natural Life
Drink a Lot of Water
Snack Smartly
Optimize Your Use of Tech Tools

There are many more, but getting started with some of these will help newbies to the work from home routine stay productive and ensure they stay healthy and happy.

Using Virtual Staffing to Build your Business

We live in a tech driven world, where data is more valuable than oil, artificial intelligence has become commonplace in our lives and yet most entrepreneurs and small business owners don’t even have the time to post regular updates to social media.

In fact, even with all the technology at your fingertips few of us are able to generate revenue 24/7, 365 days a year, regardless of whether we are in the office or off on vacation.

But this shouldn’t be the case.

Imagine waking up in the morning and already having a full day’s worth of work completed, so you can dive right into doing what you do best. Learn how to scale your business right now by joining our managed virtual assistant program today.

How would you like to reclaim 60% of your time? Studies show that only 40% of an employee’s time (this includes everyone from individual contributors to C-Suite executives) is spent performing primary job functions. We all get way to distracted doing busy work.

To grow your business and have more balance in your life you have to assess how you are spending your time.

When I started my first training business, I did it all: arranged client calls, prepared financial reports, returned client messages and e-mails, scheduled meetings, and attended just about any meeting where it seemed their might be new business opportunity.

While I was more than capable of handling these daily tasks, I soon realized that it was draining me personally and hindering my ability to focus on the key things I needed to do to grow my business.

I soon found that the top benefits virtual assistants add to a small business are saving time, reducing cost, free up other resources, and eliminates many HR issues.

You might think you can’t afford a VA if you have a start-up, or don’t need one if your company is already established, but VAs can be game changers for almost any business. After all, there is truth in the saying, “time is money.” If you spend more time supporting your business instead of building it, you are not maximizing your efforts.

VAs can help with almost any type of essential, but time-consuming job. For example, database management, business reports, internet research, personal correspondence, gift sending, meeting planning, email maintenance, editing, social media maintenance, newsletters, banking, and travel arrangements.

And having a managed VA from Sonic Analytics means you are getting not just some to help you manage your workload. You are getting a person who will work hard to make you even more successful.

Here is what one of our team, Amor, has to say about being a virtual assistant with Sonic Analytics. “I feel blessed to work at the convenience of our home. What’s great is I find more time to do after work activities. I also save a lot of time and money from the daily commute and spending lots of cash with food and coffee. Best of all our company provided us benefits compared to doing freelance jobs and that’s the bottom line.”

If you identify what to delegate to an assistant, what can be outsourced to a virtual team and how to automate using Artificial Intelligence you will be much happier and more prosperous.

As citizens of this great democracy, we need to look at the data (analytics), plan a course of action (strategy) and share our data-driven viewpoints (presentation). This approach to a data savvy work force starts in school. So, we started an internship program to empower our youth to use Analytics, plan Strategy and Present their insights… ASP!

LinkedIn Executive Level Account Management

LinkedIn should be a very powerful tool for industry leaders, speakers and executives to build their brand, spread their influence and open up new business opportunities. However, to really get full value out of LinkedIn, few executives can dedicate much time to the tool.

Virtual Assistants are a very helpful way to bridge this gap. Having a trusted, managed, VA, log in using a Executive’s Log-In credentials to manage the daily use of LinkedIn as a business development, marketing and influencer tool can be a significant difference maker. Having a VA with the focus to build engagement with key connections and to open new speaking, training and coaching opportunities should be invaluable for the busy executive.

So I came up with a new product specifically for Entrepreneurs, Business Owners and Executives who need to get more value out of their LinkedIn Profile.

TRAINING IN DATA ANALYTICS

By Maureen Andrei Lepatan

INTRODUCTION

We create data everyday. How? We, especially in this generation spend many hours in accessing our social media accounts, doing online shopping, playing games, watching movies online. Part of our daily routine includes internet and technology. By doing so, all of our hobbies generate data that are captured in various places and in different ways.

Every time we post pictures on Instagram, rant something on Twitter and post our status and photos on Facebook, we create a lot of data. There is a corresponding data point every time we comment or like something online. Imagine how many data we can generate everyday if every person of this planet accesses online.The data become closer and closer to infinity. That is why the term “big data” was created.

With that being said, data analytics is key to handle pool of data. Analytics is about searching for clues that will enable us to find answers to our problems. We find, we analyze and we present our data.

Primary people for conducting analytics are called analysts. The problem would be that they are overwhelmed by massive amount of data and have trouble to handle them properly.

In order to be effective, analysts should master effective and current business intelligence (BI) tools that could help them to interpret the data properly and guide the companies and businesses regarding their strategies and decision making processes.

I started having interest in dealing with data when I was 3rd year in college. Before, I was a Math person. I am the kind of person who likes challenging activities and work on complex subjects. In the pursuit of my Economics degree, I used a lot of data and created graphical representations in order to survive essay crises and loads of research papers.

Somehow, economics has the same idea as data analytics which is to tell a story out of the representations. The difference lies upon the frequency of the usage of business intelligence tools in data analytics.

Why did I dive into data analytics? It fits my personality, hobbies and skill sets. I am curious in nature and love to learn new things. I love editing videos, photos and creating infographics and graphical representations. And data analytics made me combine all of these hobbies in data analytics. It enables me to be creative, analytical and communicative all at once. There is no wrong and right approach. I can be my own self. As long as I get the right data, visualize and verbalize them well, I’m good to go.

Data analytics gave me a sense of purpose. I think in this generation, being an effective analytics talent is what the world needs. I do not mean to disregard other jobs. I just want to be realistic about the present and the future. More and more businesses will build their companies using online platforms requiring more data analytics talents. If businesses do not adapt to the demands of the society, they will most likely fail. As a student and future professional, I need to prepare for these changes. Although I have a background in dealing with data, I need to learn timely business intelligence tools and to train myself to be a better data storyteller.

DMAIPH can help analysts and aspiring individuals who want to learn data analytics. The company conducts trainings to help increase effective and efficient analysts in the Philippines and meet the demands of the society when it comes to data enthusiasts.

EXPERIENCE

Last September 25 and 26, I attended the training of Sir Dan Meyer regarding Data Management and Data Visualization. In a span of two days, I was able to have an overview of how data analytics works and how to use business intelligence tools to tell a story. Moreover, I was also assigned to tasks like to welcome the guests and to assist Sir Dan in helping the participants to use Tableau since I also need to fulfill my duties as a business analytics trainee.

At first, I was really intimidated with the participants when they introduced themselves. I never thought that the people whom I say “Good Morning/ Hello” to are CEOs and various kinds of analysts in their respective companies. This really reflects that the demand for analytics talents in the Philippines is greater than the supply. When I talked to some of them, they said that companies have sent them to have trainings with Sir Dan and some of them personally wanted to learn to help their companies.

Training people is really a must to adjust in this day and age. As time goes by, more and more data are generated and unstructured data gradually increase. If data continue to produce increments, the world needs more and more analysts to handle them. In the case of the Philippines, Excel still dominates the analytics industry and is used primarily by professionals to conduct data analysis despite the evolution of business intelligence (BI) tools. On the second day of the training, the practical application of the concepts taught in Day One were applied. Sir Dan tackled about business intelligence tools, data visualization, business dashboards and data storytelling.

I have 5 major takeaways that I want to share with you:

Data Visualization is just half the job. We need to interpret the data correctly and relay the information such that a grade school student can understand the story behind the data. This is in order to create an impact to various kinds of people and encourage decision-makers to make relevant changes in their businesses. Just be simple and precise!
Learning data science and analytics is all about experimentation. We shall be ready for mistakes along the way. We must continuously attend trainings in order to guide us and persistently practice on our own to obtain mastery.
Companies are enchanting because people like them and trust them. As part of a company, we want to reflect the enchantment our companies have to give to the customers. Without the right strategies to be enchanting, people will not believe us leading to a low profitability and a bad reputation. We can be enchanting as analysts if we can deliver the data persuasively and we can work well with other people.
Being an effective data scientist is a combination of being mobile when it comes to changes in technology and being adaptable in dealing with people.
There are three types of analytics which include descriptive, predictive and prescriptive. How do we use them properly? Descriptive analytics can be effectively utilized if we want to know what happened to have insights in present trends. For example, we want to know about the profits in each month from 2015-2017. Secondly, predictive analytics is used to develop projections and provide information what might happen in the future. Expected sales can be best represented by predictive analytics. Lastly, prescriptive analytics is used to know what to do. We can use this especially if we want to build a model out of multiple sources and include many variables.

DMAIPH: FIRST TRAINING, FIRST INTERNSHIP

DMAIPH really provided me a brand new experience. Although I love dealing with data and graphical representations before I become an intern, I felt more impactful when I started my training. I got to help the participants how to navigate Tableau and had to work with wonderful people. I was able to apply what I learned in the past and at the same time acquire new skills that will be beneficial for me in the future. I look forward to the trainings and more involvement that I can get from the company.

So far, so good.

Worried Your Call Center Job Might Be Taken by a Robot? You should be.

http://news.abs-cbn.com/business/05/12/17/bpos-gearing-up-for-impact-of-artificial-intelligence-on-industry

I shared this article on an FB group and got a lot of inquires from people who are indeed seeing an opportunity to move from a call center job to a Data Science and Analytics (DSA) job.

Most of the questions revolved around how to transition.

Want to get Data Science and Analytics Training. Not sure how, here are some tips!

Self-Teach a Skill. (YouTube has thousands of free resources)
Volunteer at Work. (Find out what skills are in demand in your company and ask if you can help)
Take a Training Class (there are a lot of public training classes out there, including some that DMAIPH does).
Read a Book (Experts share a lot… like my book Putting Your Data to Work: An Analytics Guidebook for Filipino Professionals)
Find a Mentor (Jedi Knights start as an apprentice, so do many analysts and data scientists)
Join a Group (there are a lot of meet up groups like Data Science Philippines you can use to network)
Go Back to School (a few dozen schools here in the Philippines are either already offering data science an analytics programs are kicking them off soon)
Follow a Blog. (Besides reading books, there are a lot of good ideas shared on blogs like mine, dmaiph.com)
Become a Member (join associations like aap.ph aka Analytics Association of the Philippines)

Another question that came up often was, “What should you learn first?”

Find a tool, technique or technology that is high demand and fits your interests and aptitude. The best way to find out what to focus on is do a job search for the kind of job you want and look at the requirements. For newbies some of the in demand skills are

SQL (the most widely used language used for data analytics)
Microsoft Excel (if you know pivot tables, simple formulas and can make decent visuals you will be in high demand)
Tableau (a free version called Tableau Public can be downloaded and is easy to learn)
R (the most widely used tool for predictive analytics and data science and its free)

And then a lot more people added me on FB, hoping to network and find new opportunities. Thats a good tip too. Networking is key.
