The Analytics Power Hour

#240: Asking Better Questions with Taylor Buonocore Guthrie


Listen Later

They say an analysis is only as good as the question that was asked, so for our 2024 International Women's Day Episode, Julie, Moe, and Val were joined by Taylor Buonocore Guthrie to discuss how to ask better questions. Every analyst is naturally curious, but the thoughtfulness that Taylor puts into what type of questions to ask, how to ask them, and when to ask them to get the optimal response is truly an art form. Instead of drilling the five-whys the next time you are gathering context with a business partner for an analysis or conducting discovery interviews, try prompting them with, "Can you walk me through your thinking?" or "What else is important for me to know?" to gather the right context and clarify your understanding. We can't wait for you to hear all of the practical advice and suggestions for things you might consider incorporating into your repertoire!
