I bet you are asking what is an information professional consultant and why should I hire you? Great questions. Let me take this opportunity to explain what info pros do and why we can help you grow your business and make you look awesome.
What do you do when need some information – say you want to know what your competitors are doing right now? What do you do? How do you find the information that is going to help you understand the competitive landscape, new products and services offered by competitors, new entrants into your industry? How do you know when it is time to pivot and adjust to the next normal? How do you find information on related industries and how they might impact your own company? How do you find information about companies, customers, and suppliers? How do you stay up-to-date and in the know about emerging technologies, disruptors, federal regulations, executive changes, and much more? Where do you look for this information? How much time are you spending looking for information? Is this time well spent? As an information professional, I want you to Spend your time using information, not looking for it. Your time is valuable! You need actionable intelligence to make smarter decisions, mitigate risk, and grow your business or organization. We partner with you to understand your challenges and work together to achieve your desired outcomes.
So, what is an information professional? Information professionals are professional researchers trained to find, organize, distill, curate, and deliver customized information products to solve problems and get things done. Finding information to address a specific question is like a puzzle. What information is needed? Where is this information located? What databases (proprietary, government, or open source) have the information needed? What’s the best search strategy needed to extract the information from thousands of data resources? What’s the best way to deliver the information needed? The thrill of figuring out where to look, how to tap into the right resource, extract what is needed, and deliver a report, executive summary, a spreadsheet, a visual, or slide deck makes my day!
