Read any business magazine and you will find an article saying something along the lines of \"Business Analytics is the hottest job category out there, and there is a significant lack of people, process and best practice.\" In this case the conference was eMetrics, the bar was….multiple, and the attendees were Michael Helbling, Tim Wilson and Jim Cain (Co-Host Emeritus). After a few pints and a few hours of discussion about the cutting edge of digital analytics, they realized they might have something to contribute back to the community. This podcast is one of those contributions. Each episode is a closed topic and an open forum - the goal is for listeners to enjoy listening to Michael, Tim, and Moe share their thoughts and experiences and hopefully take away something to try at work the next day. We hope you enjoy listening to the Digital Analytics Power Hour.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-07T14:22:38.009366+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-analytics-power-hour-461338"},"episode":{"title":"#279: The Process(es) of Analytics (We Have Thoughts)","slug":"279-the-process-es-of-analytics-we-have-thoughts","published_at":"2025-09-02T04:30:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-analytics-power-hour-461338/279-the-process-es-of-analytics-we-have-thoughts","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-analytics-power-hour-461338","url":"https://analyticshour.io/2025/09/02/279-the-processes-of-analytics-we-have-thoughts/","audio_url":"https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/analyticshour/APH_-_Episode_279_-_The_Processes_of_Analytics_We_Have_Thoughts.mp3?dest-id=239292","summary":"What is \"process\" in analytics? On the one hand, it can be seen as a detailed sequence of minutia by which anything that needs to be repeated in the world of analytics gets carried out in a structured and consistent manner. On the other hand, that's the sort of definition that strikes terror and rage in the hearts of many souls. Some of those souls are co-hosts of this podcast. Even the more process-oriented co-hosts bristle at such a definition (but for different reasons). So, what ARE some of the core processes in analytics? And, what is the appropriate balance between establishing a prescriptive structure and leaving sufficient flexibility to allow human judgment to adapt a process to fit specific situations? Those are the sorts of questions tackled on this episode, which was released on time with all of its underlying component parts thanks to a reasonably robust…process.
