The other day I was in a meeting to discuss a new analytics project and discovered the team had no end goal.

To increase the amount and depth of the analytics performed, steal some agile methods, and apply them to your audits.
If you’re not familiar with agile methods, check out the first 5 topics listed here (just click Next at the bottom of each page; the topics are quick to the point and full of pictures).
Briefly, agile projects are performed in cycles, or iterations, rather than in a long, linear-waterfall fashion, which is: do all planning, then field work, then reporting.

I worked for a great IT director, who moved to another company, much bigger, and brought me with him.
