| Learning and Improving Skills to Become a More Effective Statistical Collaborator (Part 2 of Two-Part Course) — Professional Development Personal Skills Development | |||
| ASA | |||
| This fast-paced workshop will get you up to speed on how to effectively collaborate with other professionals to solve real-world problems and implement solutions. It will introduce you to the POWER process for structuring effective, efficient meetings in all your professional roles, lead you through role plays to practice what you have learned, and show you how to systematically improve your statistical collaboration skills through the recording and analysis of video. The methods you will learn about and practice are based on Vance's, Smith's, and Zahn's methodologies which have been developed over many decades of both international consulting experience as well as training of over one thousand undergraduate and graduate students and working professionals in how to be a more effective statistical collaborator. Workshop participants will have read about the POWER process before arriving at the conference and will work in groups at the beginning of the workshop to apply their understanding of the readings by answering questions and solving problems in the context of statistical consultations and collaborations. Vance, Smith, and Zahn will explain any concepts of the POWER process participants have trouble understanding or applying and they will also provide the opportunity to see the POWER process in action so that participants can better understand how it helps one achieve improved collaborations. By the end of this section, participants will solidly understand the steps in this process. The second section of the workshop will consist of role plays in which the participants practice the key concepts of the POWER process. Alternating between the roles of client, statistical collaborator, and observer - while giving feedback to their peers - the participants will practice the skills they will use to unlock their collaborative potential. The last section of the workshop will show participants how to video record themselves during meetings with clients and, more importantly, how to analyze that video to systematically improve their statistical collaboration skills upon their return to their organizations. Prerequisite: At least one professional meeting scheduled in the week (or two) after you return to work after JSM. | |||
