Having access to lots of information is great. But how do we harvest good insights from all that information? Then how do we organize it to make it useful? Today, we’re continuing our series on Ramping up on Client Accounts. We’ll share a process for extracting pertinent data from all the info out there. We will cover what questions you’ll want to ask while consuming information. And finally, we’ll talk about high-level actions for getting through dozens of items of materials (articles, publications, etc.) in a single day. This is the Cognition phase of the Client Acclimation framework.
Do you have a process for ramping up on client accounts? Can you learn about a new industry or market in less than a week? I’d like to share a framework that I call Client Acclimation, which consists of Construction, Cognition, Community, and Collaboration. I’ll break down each step for knowledge gain (and insight) into new client accounts including their industries and markets. This will be a few (2-3) part series because there is a lot of information to cover. I also want to share each step in every phase so listeners can replicate the process. Today’s episode will consist of constructing views of the client, industry, and markets.
