“I needed to be able to not only provide evidence of what the skill set looks like today, but also come up with a series of related questions, such as: What if we work in this or that location? What difference would that make? What’s the impact on compensation? What’s the impact on this skill’s availability? It’s critical just to be able to get a really good set of data that enables us to keep going back and asking sort of fresh questions of data.”
