# We Need More MacGyvers By:: [[Brian Heath]] 2022-11-05 There is no such thing as a perfect or ideal data and analytics infrastructure for organizations. Technologies and organizational needs are always changing, so perfection is fleeting and futile. Furthermore, analysis is not about technology nor [[Analytics is not about Data|data]]. Spending endless cycles to find the perfect software, platform, or tools is not the point and represents an endless rabbit hole. The fixation on these minor details represents a failure in understanding and a fascination with technology akin to standing in line to buy the latest iPhone on Black Friday. A great analyst is a [[MacGyver]] who understands the foundational principles of the world and can transform anything around them into something useful. A show about a person who takes 48 episodes to design a tool to pick a lock is boring and pointless. Don't be the boring analyst looking for the perfect solution while the world and your stakeholders pass you by. This is the fastest way for you and the field to become irrelevant. #### Related Items [[Analytics]] [[Boring analysis]] [[Technology]] [[Doing Simple Things Well]] [[Organizational Analytics]]
