I recently did a big analysis project where I found some opportunities and presented possible areas to investigate to test my theories. Our business leader said to hold off on doing any further investigation as it’s not a priority within the business at the moment. Does this happen often to you? How do you go about it?

Can you tie it to $ opportunities or seasonal goals? Or ask about exploring it outside of your prioritized work? It sounds like something you’re excited and curious on which is where big wins can come from. If it’s something that you can fly solo on, and needs limited resources maybe even pitch it as a growth/learning/development opportunity. Not all bosses are ok with the “better to ask forgiveness than permission” mindset. But if yours might be and it won’t affect productivity, or cost, what’s the harm? Maybe with more meat on it the win is easier to sell!

Yes, I think this happens more often than people realize. Sometimes the analysis can be solid, but the timing or business priorities just aren’t there yet. I’d probably document the findings, keep the supporting data handy, and maybe revisit it later when priorities shift or a related problem comes up.

Good advice.
