"I believe data analysts in non-technical departments are usually the most familiar with the company's data. However, I have worked in companies where data was accessible to several people who were not in an analyst role. This caused confusion over the interpretation of the data. While data dictionaries can be helpful in these situations, I believe it provides a limited explanation. I recommended that those in non-analytical jobs rely on data analysts for data access. This ensured that data was not misinterpreted, which could negatively affect the strategies being created. I built a case by identifying examples of when data was misinterpreted. The company implemented my recommendation and was even willing to hire more data analysts to ensure that there were enough resources to execute my plan."

When sharing your recommendation, include as many details as possible, particularly why you made it. Do not hesitate to share a recommended change that was not implemented. It shows your ability to take the initiative and continually consider process improvement. You can use the STAR format to frame your answer since this is a behavioral question.
