About Steve Duncan
I started out in engineering. I liked engineering work and learned a ton from it. Later on I decided I wanted to be further ahead of the process and closer to the customer.So I moved from engineering through marketing to strategic planning to closer to guiding the business. I prefer to be out in front of trends & problems. It isn\'t always easier work but it is always more interesting.I do my best work collaborating and being an advisor, because I see things differently from other people. I enjoy finding the right balance of data and intuition which supports the best decisions.Strategic roles require telling truth to power which bothers some folks. I find that being concise & focused on the business almost always works. Calm persistence beats bluster.I\'m proud of the initiative I took to gather 20 of my peers and engage them in the midterm planning process. It desperately needed their input to make it relevant and actionable. From then on we\'ve included the middle of the company, and transformed our midterm plans from quickly forgotten wishlists to real achievements bringing value.I\'m also proud of the data warehouse I built to get our arms around the market and sales data scattered all over the company in spreadsheets. I knew it would help us create more consistent reporting with less effort. I didn\'t know it would still be use 8 years later.
