Subject: Reminder — UAI Executive Advisory Council Meeting – June 29, 2022

Hello UAI EAC Members, 

We look forward to our quarterly UAI Executive Advisory Council meeting next week, taking place on Wednesday, June 29, 2022. My teammate, @Kevin, will be sending you an updated calendar invite with your Teams meeting link to get into the meeting. He will also reply to this message here with the link. 

During this EAC meeting, we will discuss the following:

• UAI calls to action
• An overview of the things discussed/identified during the May 10, 2022 EAC meeting that took place at UA Summit
  • The EAC members at our meeting during UA Summit worked collaboratively and provided a wealth of information to the topics at hand:
    • Analytics in IT vs. Analytics in the Business
    • Hiring and Retention
    • Cloud Migration/Adoption
    • Data Governance/Data Quality
    • The Intersection of Digital Experience and Data Analytics
    • ESG (Environment Societal Governance)
  • There has been a lot to consume and combine in regards to the amazing discussions that took place during this meeting, so we want to make sure to take time during our June EAC meeting to do a review of this information, especially for those that missed the meeting at UA Summit.
  • The team here at UAI is still reviewing and compiling actions to take in regards to this information, so we think it is important to give an overview of the EAC’s findings and collect any additional thoughts on these topics. Due to this focus, we will not discuss any new topics during this June EAC meeting. 
  • Please find attached to this message the notes taken during this meeting 
• Informal, Open Discussion – any topics you want to discuss with each other

Thank you for your commitment to the UAI EAC. We are honored to have you as a member and look forward to our continued work together.

If you have any questions prior to this meeting, please reach out.

Sincerely,
@Leslie

Hello all,

 

I have reviewed the collector survey and have a question on #11.  What if your high value use case did not employ any algorithms (ex. In the case of building data visualizations) – how should this question be answered?  Perhaps after we log some use cases we will see that there is need for additional information, but for now I think the rest of the questions are appropriate.

 

Thanks!

Hi @Erin!

I hope you are doing well. I reviewed the Use Case Collector form and had just one comment. I don’t see the need in asking question 4. The form collects the costs (both monetary and resource time) and the benefits. From this data value can be determined by the reader. If you want to get the submitting utilities opinion of value maybe provide a more granular scale than just if its high value or not. 1-10 with 10 being the greatest value? But with this being a subjective question, I’m not sure it matters. Personally, I won’t consider this answer when I’m evaluating if we should copy what they’ve done. The rest of the form looks good.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Mike

Subject: ACTION REQUESTED: Feedback on Combined Project Profile and High Value Use Case Surveys

Hello UAI Executive Advisory Council (EAC) Members,

During our March 2022 EAC meeting, you may remember UAI providing an update about us modifying the project profile submission process due to feedback we received from members regarding barriers to completing Project Profiles. We are excited to report we have made progress on updating this process and now need your feedback to continue moving it forward.

In an effort to streamline our process for collecting project and use case information, we have combined the Project Profile and High Value Use Case surveys into one form that we are calling the Use Case Collector. The Use Case Collector aims to collect the most essential information about a use case as well as additional optional information.

Our goal with this Use Case Collector is to reduce the burden of submitting a use case to the Use Case Collection library while still collecting enough information for UAI members to find the submission informative. This is why the form is broken down into two pages: page one is required information that must be completed to submit the use case and page two is optional information that is not required but appreciated. We aim for page one to take no longer than 10 minutes to complete and for both pages to take no longer than 20 minutes.

Could you please review of the Use Case Collector form and provide the following feedback?

• Are the required questions useful and necessary? If no, please let us know why. 
• Do the optional questions provide additional material value?  If no, please let us know why.
• Is any critical information missing?

Here is a link to the Use Case Collector form: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/KZ85926

We will continue to keep you updated on this project’s progress. In the meantime, @Erin, Sr. Research Analyst at UAI, will be happy to answer any questions you have regarding the Use Case Collector and Use Case Collection! 

Thanks!

Hi Nadia,

Thanks for taking a look at the Use Case Collector and offering feedback! For Q11, if your use case did not employ any algorithms then you can select “N/A” for not applicable. Let me know if you think I should type that out to make it clear.

-Erin
