In these two years, I have had the opportunity to work primarily in business transformation, systems development, and data leadership. Many of my projects were within the social services sector, as well as industrial associations, and I found myself deriving a great sense of purpose helping organisations, especially those who help the vulnerable, utilise data effectively and make better decisions.

​

One of my favourite aspects about being a Ronan was that I was given the opportunity to try different projects, see what I liked and didn’t like and then work on cultivating my strengths. More recently, I have been able to work with senior managers and middle managers from a big social services organisation as part of a business transformation effort in the space of data – which gave me more confidence in my leadership and people skills. I even got chances to co-facilitate workshops and drive training and process modelling efforts to ensure a structure and standard of service delivery to the complexity of social services.

 

My best pieces of advice for anyone joining Ronan Analytics are to keep an open mind with different projects, be proactive about your learning outcomes and be genuinely curious about making an impact on your clients. As the saying goes, ‘ask and you shall receive’.  Jeff and Stuart are great managers and mentors, they do not take your learning lightly and will help guide you towards your interests. More importantly, have fun – I know I had some interesting conversations with everyone as I was working there!
