A recent presentation I created may be of interest to many of you here on
SAS-L:  <http://www.freakalytics.com/blog/p/3> The Value of a Great Analyst-
About $3M per Year!



In my opinion, too much emphasis has been placed with the tools used by
analysts in the press and by firms like Gartner and IDC.  Too little
emphasis has been placed on the tremendous value differences generated by
great analysts over average analysts in my opinion.  I think this is vital
information for analysts and their management.

I hope this is helpful to some of you when considering your value at work!
Your thoughts, opinions and feedback are appreciated.

Best regards,

Stephen McDaniel
