Why would excel skills help you succeed as a strategist?

K.

I think understanding how to build arrays for pivot tables is key.

But are you just using it as a fancy calculator?

Overall I would say that excel is built for power users. What that means for you is that there are shortcuts for everything. Learn them. Force your self to do stuff with keyboard shortcuts. If you play video games it is like learning the control scheme. It actually becomes inefficient to use a mouse after a while, as you learn them.

Hi all, does anyone have a good framework they would recommend for developing HCP/physician communication strategies and defining tactics for HCP engagement (outside of pharma reps)?

Looking for something a bit more nuanced than a traditional consumer framework. Thanks!
