		<description><![CDATA[Look at this crisis as an opportunity for change. If you hunker down to wait it out, you’ll be left behind. Jim Davis, Senior Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer at SAS, says that businesses must migrate from reactive to proactive decision making. Proactive decision making can only be accomplished through the use of analytics.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=sastechadventure.wordpress.com&amp;blog=5754793&amp;post=118&amp;subd=sastechadventure&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[About a year ago, while driving home from an especially difficult day, I saw a bright pink bumper sticker that read, "Wag More, Bark Less!" It seemed to me that everyone could use that advice, especially me. It stuck in my mind, but I changed nothing.  <img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=sastechadventure.wordpress.com&amp;blog=5754793&amp;post=100&amp;subd=sastechadventure&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of the most often missed steps in a project is the one that most put off until things start going wrong. I'm talking about the pre-planning – defining the project's purpose, goals and expected outcome. You're right, your project can be successful without putting this first. And, you may get some grief because you're halting the creative flow just to talk more the project.  But, at some point, you and your team are going to hit a wall of confusion and frustration. A planning document or strategy brief will keep everyone aimed at the same goal from beginning to end. It's like a beacon.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=sastechadventure.wordpress.com&amp;blog=5754793&amp;post=88&amp;subd=sastechadventure&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I keep thinking that it shouldn't be that hard to figure this stuff out – the rules of social media engagement– but evidently, I'm wrong. Every day, I read a Tweet or blog about someone who's been misunderstood or made a horrible gaffaw without thinking. And, I keep seeing posts about how to blog and microblog. How could there be enough new entries to social media to warrant that level of publication?

Well, here I go (Remind you of a song?).

In this series I'll cover three basic sets of rules that I think will help you in the world of social media: Journalism 101, Internet Safety 101 and Common Sense 101. <img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=sastechadventure.wordpress.com&amp;blog=5754793&amp;post=40&amp;subd=sastechadventure&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Until just a few months ago, my professional experience with social media amounted to almost nothing. Now, at SAS, I’m encouraged to explore social media avenues to engage with users and enrich the SAS user experience. My goal is to connect with my SAS® Tech Report, SAS® Business Report and SAS® Financial Services Newsletter readers and help them find more of the information from SAS that they need. But, sometimes, I feel like I’m talking to myself. <img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=sastechadventure.wordpress.com&amp;blog=5754793&amp;post=32&amp;subd=sastechadventure&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
