La necessità di talenti nell’analisi dei dati

Staying abreast of current data and analytics technology and practices can help community banks maintain their inherent relationship advantages. Hiring qualified data analysts to dive deep into banking data and create meaningful analytics presents a considerable
challenge for community banking and credit union executives.

Secondo una recente ricerca di Gartner, l’attenzione alla dimensione umana dei dati e dell’analisi ha tre attributi chiave:

  • Promuovere l'adozione dell'analisi collaborando con gli utenti aziendali per garantire accessibilità, fiducia e pertinenza per gli utenti aziendali.
  • Recognizing human involvement across the range of decision-making, from decision support to decision automation. Even the most automated decision-making process needs human involvement in its initial design and formation – and in its subsequent monitoring
    e valutazione.
  • Garantire che le distribuzioni di analisi tengano conto dei molteplici aspetti del rischio.

Ecco alcune linee guida e approfondimenti che ho visto presso istituzioni di tutto il paese che affrontano le importanti sfide del lato umano dell'analisi dei dati: ottenere, formare e trattenere analisti di dati.

Reclutare sia in modo tradizionale che non tradizionale

I banchieri della comunità spesso non possono permettersi reclutatori a tempo pieno per scovare campus universitari alla ricerca di data scientist e studenti focalizzati sulla tecnologia potenzialmente interessati a carriere bancarie/fintech.

The Georgia Fintech Academy, a collaboration between Georgia’s fintech industry and the University System of Georgia, provides this service to bankers in the Southeastern U.S. They help create interest in fintech, offer appropriate technology courses, and
match students to organizations seeking resources. These connections establish linkages and insights on both sides of the table.

Kim Kirk, Chief Operations Officer of Queensborough National Bank and Trust Company, noticed a shift in students’ interest at a Georgia Fintech Academy event with talents more geared toward data analytics, machine learning, and predictive analytics which
she noted is “Somewhat different from resumes I have seen from recent college graduates in the past. Data analytics and predictive analytics are particularly interesting to me as we build out our data warehouse and mine our customer data to better understand
our customers’ financial landscape, habits, and needs.”

Traditional recruiting methods still help in the search for quality data analytics talent. Community banks can offer younger candidates a chance to learn all aspects of a bank’s business model, as opposed to one facet of banking, which is inherent in many
entry-level jobs in larger organizations. Selling this advantage to potential candidates via online recruiting tools, using current staff to recruit friends and family, and trying to convert a hire from larger competitors remain relevant hiring strategies.

Allenati con uno scopo

Una volta assunto un analista di dati, la formazione diventa fondamentale per garantire sia la soddisfazione lavorativa che la fornitura di analisi significative.

Gone are the days of rotating younger new college hires through management training programs in lengthy exposures to all a bank’s functional areas. Market and competitive demands dictate these valuable resources make an impact. Instead, institutions today
should assign the new data analyst to one area within the bank with a specific pressing problem that can be solved with insightful analytics.

Partner the new employee with a Senior Business Analyst (or analyst type) who understands what results are needed. This expert can help guide the iterations of data-gathering and analysis conducted by the new hire. This solves an immediate problem approach
and provides the dual advantage of relevance and timely productivity.

Beyond this initial primary assignment, ensure the new employee takes any online banking courses your institution has access to, such as Banking 101 topics available from training vendors. And don’t forget to start the Risk and Compliance training that is
so critical to bankers in current times.

Conserva in modo creativo

Applicare un nuovo modo di pensare al vecchio problema della fidelizzazione dei dipendenti in relazione agli analisti di dati, il cui valore aumenterà in modo esponenziale con la loro esperienza nei servizi finanziari:

  • Offri percorsi di carriera e opportunità chiari e pertinenti all'interno della tua organizzazione.
  • Pensare agli approcci gestionali in modi nuovi.
  • Sii aperto a opzioni di lavoro remote e flessibili che potrebbero estendere le politiche esistenti all’interno della tua banca. Lo stesso pensiero si applica agli spazi di lavoro personali e alle politiche relative alle ferie.
  • Associa mentori a analisti di dati nuovi assunti che possono aiutare questi dipendenti a orientarsi non solo nel mondo bancario, ma anche nella politica inerente a qualsiasi organizzazione con più di due dipendenti.

In addition to banking training, ensure your bank has the budget for the technology tools, such as Microsoft Power BI, that data analysts require to perform optimally. And allow for employees in this area to attend conferences and vendor courses to expand
their capabilities and creativity relative to new data analytics trends.

Il momento di assumere personale è adesso

The race for personalization of customer experiences is well underway in banking. If community bankers don’t invest in data analysts to mine their unique data sources, they risk falling behind to the point of no recovery. The time to staff thoughtfully is
ora.
