In my previous role as an MIS Analyst, I encountered a situation where our leadership needed to make a strategic decision regarding resource allocation for an upcoming project. To assist them, I began by collecting data from various departments to ensure a comprehensive view. I then used Google Sheets to organize and validate the data, employing pivot tables and VLOOKUP to identify key trends and patterns. Once the data was structured, I focused on creating a clear and concise MIS report, highlighting critical insights and potential impacts of different resource allocation scenarios.

To ensure accuracy, I cross-verified the data with multiple sources and collaborated closely with department heads to confirm the validity of the information. I also created visual dashboards to present the data in an easily digestible format, which helped the leadership team quickly grasp the implications of their decisions. This approach not only facilitated a more informed decision-making process but also demonstrated the value of data-driven insights in strategic planning.
