1 00:00:13.570 ⇒ 00:00:15.450 Brylle Girang: Bobo Benga, nothing.
2 00:00:56.360 ⇒ 00:00:57.470 Amber Lin: Hi there!
3 00:00:57.690 ⇒ 00:00:59.080 Brylle Girang: Hello, Amber.
4 00:00:59.260 ⇒ 00:01:02.269 Brylle Girang: Good evening. Good morning. Not sure.
5 00:01:02.270 ⇒ 00:01:05.720 Amber Lin: Good morning. It’s about noon for me.
6 00:01:05.960 ⇒ 00:01:07.190 Brylle Girang: How are you doing?
7 00:01:07.630 ⇒ 00:01:13.600 Amber Lin: Oh, good! The time off helped, so feeling refreshed, feeling ready.
8 00:01:13.910 ⇒ 00:01:18.640 Brylle Girang: I have a question, I’m not sure if this is right, but did you just get married?
9 00:01:19.010 ⇒ 00:01:29.350 Amber Lin: We are going to. Unfortunately, there were no appointments this weekend, so we’re probably gonna do it, like, next month, but…
10 00:01:29.350 ⇒ 00:01:30.830 Brylle Girang: Oh, wow!
11 00:01:31.920 ⇒ 00:01:37.749 Amber Lin: Yeah, so I will have another time off coming… coming in soon to go through that.
12 00:01:38.070 ⇒ 00:01:43.769 Brylle Girang: Great! So, your time off, like, yesterday and then the last Friday was supposed to be for that.
13 00:01:43.770 ⇒ 00:01:49.730 Amber Lin: Yeah, but then it didn’t happen, so we just… we just hanged out and chilled.
14 00:01:49.730 ⇒ 00:01:52.179 Brylle Girang: That’s amazing, I’m happy for you.
15 00:01:52.520 ⇒ 00:01:54.169 Amber Lin: Yeah, I appreciate it.
16 00:01:54.360 ⇒ 00:02:00.970 Brylle Girang: Okay, yeah, so, this is just, you know, a quick check-in regarding L&D. I just want to make sure that we get the chance to.
17 00:02:01.440 ⇒ 00:02:13.329 Brylle Girang: you know, realign, and then check on progress. I think the biggest thing is that I’m really happy with how you’re handling the strategy, service lines when it comes to the certification.
18 00:02:14.110 ⇒ 00:02:24.999 Brylle Girang: major… a major part of why we’re… why we have great progress is how you’re pushing them and the tracking systems that you’re putting into place. That’s super amazing.
19 00:02:25.390 ⇒ 00:02:33.079 Brylle Girang: I think we’re… 4 out of 6 strategy people have already submitted their Omni exams, and I think.
20 00:02:33.080 ⇒ 00:02:48.889 Amber Lin: That’s so funny. I’m like, I am halfway through the course, because I need to learn the course. I think it’s totally fine if Greg Robert doesn’t do the course, but I… I need to do the course. There’s a lot of things I didn’t know before, so…
21 00:02:48.890 ⇒ 00:02:49.929 Brylle Girang: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
22 00:02:49.930 ⇒ 00:02:51.570 Amber Lin: I’m still gonna go through that.
23 00:02:51.570 ⇒ 00:02:59.679 Brylle Girang: Yeah, it’s totally fine. I just think that, yeah, it’s really funny that just went all in, and then just… just did the exam, but…
24 00:02:59.680 ⇒ 00:03:09.259 Amber Lin: I know, it’s really funny. Maybe we should have two… like, do you think that should be what we do on the platform? Like, for…
25 00:03:09.490 ⇒ 00:03:18.709 Amber Lin: Leaders, for certain people who don’t do the development, like, as long as they pass it, it’s okay, and then we can have a special
26 00:03:18.710 ⇒ 00:03:30.769 Amber Lin: track to say, hey, you don’t have to read these things, just read our internal documentation. Here’s the exam, what it will look like, and here’s what you can say on a demo. Like, that will just be for service leads.
27 00:03:30.770 ⇒ 00:03:39.969 Amber Lin: Not serviceably, but just, like, non-analysts, and for analysts, then we say, hey, you need to do the… you need to do the actual course, because it will help you.
28 00:03:39.970 ⇒ 00:03:49.579 Brylle Girang: Okay. Well, I guess my main problem there is that when it comes to certifications, they’re actually required to, like, develop something and then do the demos.
29 00:03:50.480 ⇒ 00:04:00.790 Amber Lin: Yeah, I think they’re, like, capable of doing that, it just… the videos they do has a lot of depth and detail of that, oh, this is a quirk of this platform that you can do.
30 00:04:00.790 ⇒ 00:04:11.239 Amber Lin: Maybe, like, we can ask Robert or, Greg later on, like, hey, did you really need those videos to pass a course, or would you.
31 00:04:11.240 ⇒ 00:04:11.980 Brylle Girang: Okay.
32 00:04:11.980 ⇒ 00:04:16.199 Amber Lin: And tell us what you need, need it, so we’re gonna put that in our course.
33 00:04:16.390 ⇒ 00:04:27.939 Brylle Girang: Yeah, yeah, that would be amazing. Like, I know that this is the pilot run, so we had everyone go through the same path, but I do agree with you, maybe the next time that we launch another certification roadmap.
34 00:04:28.370 ⇒ 00:04:39.579 Brylle Girang: Like, it should be, like, more specific, like, if you’re… if you’re, focusing on, like, analytics, this is what you need to study, this is what the example will show, etc.
35 00:04:39.830 ⇒ 00:04:49.880 Brylle Girang: But yeah. So overall, I’m really happy with our progress. I do think that we’re on track when it comes to, like, having everyone certified for
36 00:04:50.040 ⇒ 00:04:52.330 Brylle Girang: Omni by the end of the month.
37 00:04:53.230 ⇒ 00:05:02.660 Brylle Girang: And for your OKR, well, I know that the OKR mentioned that there needs to be at least two core tools, right?
38 00:05:04.170 ⇒ 00:05:14.290 Brylle Girang: I am confirming with Odom and Robert if, one, we have another certification that we want to prioritize for the remainder of the quarter.
39 00:05:14.290 ⇒ 00:05:28.709 Brylle Girang: Or two, if we need to adjust our OKR, because if our OKR is saying that we need to be certified for two core tools, and then we’re only focusing on Omni, then it doesn’t make sense, and we’re set up to fail that.
40 00:05:29.590 ⇒ 00:05:37.730 Brylle Girang: So that’s just something that I am confirming. But overall, for… for this OKR, I think we’re on a pretty good state.
41 00:05:38.360 ⇒ 00:05:45.319 Amber Lin: Yeah, I agree. Like, remaining person would be… Jasmine me at it.
42 00:05:45.530 ⇒ 00:05:50.230 Amber Lin: Because Greg and, Robert already submitted their exams, I think.
43 00:05:50.610 ⇒ 00:05:52.549 Brylle Girang: Okay, gotcha. Perfect.
44 00:05:52.550 ⇒ 00:05:58.169 Amber Lin: Yeah. When will we be starting the curriculum? I’m pretty interested in that.
45 00:05:58.170 ⇒ 00:06:16.300 Brylle Girang: Yeah, exactly. I have, like, back and forth with them. The modules are not yet, like, 100% completed, but I am going to have a hard stop at development this week, so we should be able to launch it also this week. I’m actually targeting to launch the first modules today.
46 00:06:16.450 ⇒ 00:06:18.849 Brylle Girang: But let’s see how it goes with the fixes.
47 00:06:19.770 ⇒ 00:06:22.539 Amber Lin: Okay, sounds good.
48 00:06:23.230 ⇒ 00:06:41.020 Amber Lin: Yeah, yeah. So that’s, I think, the other OKR. And I know we just had a meeting with Utam on, like, oh, how do we use AI for our, strategy lines? I know people are thinking about that, so I know the OKR hasn’t started yet, but…
49 00:06:41.020 ⇒ 00:06:53.580 Amber Lin: I know people are, like, we’re brainstorming, and Utam has introduced, like, hey, this is what the platform team would do. So once that kick starts, I think I will… I will start the development there.
50 00:06:53.580 ⇒ 00:07:00.260 Brylle Girang: Yeah, yeah, great. I think, while we’re waiting for the curriculum and while we’re pushing for the certificate, yeah.
51 00:07:00.390 ⇒ 00:07:02.480 Brylle Girang: Maybe take some time to…
52 00:07:02.840 ⇒ 00:07:19.960 Brylle Girang: to plan about what you’re going to teach the strategy team. And yeah, lean on UTAM. I think you will be having more benefit when leaning into UTAM when it comes to the automation stuff, because I’m not that well-versed when it comes to what you guys are actually doing on the ground.
53 00:07:20.120 ⇒ 00:07:29.600 Brylle Girang: But I will be, like, the best help when it comes to, like, figuring out how to teach those, like, what resources we need to build, what modules we need to build, etc.
54 00:07:30.240 ⇒ 00:07:30.840 Amber Lin: Yeah.
55 00:07:31.450 ⇒ 00:07:32.960 Amber Lin: Sounds good. Okay.
56 00:07:32.960 ⇒ 00:07:37.060 Brylle Girang: Yeah, those are everything on my end. Do you have any questions?
57 00:07:37.860 ⇒ 00:07:52.090 Amber Lin: Not really, the only thing suddenly became easier than I expected it would be. I expected to be, like, snail speed, one video by a time, but hey, if they can complete the video, that’s, like, a new way about it.
58 00:07:52.320 ⇒ 00:07:54.659 Amber Lin: Like, if they just want to do the exam.
59 00:07:54.880 ⇒ 00:07:55.480 Brylle Girang: Yeah, yeah.
60 00:07:55.480 ⇒ 00:07:58.660 Amber Lin: So maybe we don’t force them to do the course. Yeah.
61 00:07:58.660 ⇒ 00:08:08.480 Brylle Girang: maybe, you know, I’m going to, like, take a look about, like, how do you call it? The buffer period, if they fail the exam, and when they can take again, because
62 00:08:09.280 ⇒ 00:08:11.780 Brylle Girang: What I want to avoid is them failing.
63 00:08:12.270 ⇒ 00:08:15.319 Brylle Girang: And then it’s another 3 months before they can take the exam.
64 00:08:15.320 ⇒ 00:08:15.720 Amber Lin: I like it, yeah.
65 00:08:15.720 ⇒ 00:08:17.350 Brylle Girang: Right? So, who?
66 00:08:17.350 ⇒ 00:08:23.570 Amber Lin: Okay, okay. Yeah, I am kind of scared about that, too. That’s why I’m going through the course, but…
67 00:08:23.570 ⇒ 00:08:30.949 Brylle Girang: Okay. And then, so once the platform certifications are done for Omni… oh, by the way, I just thought about it.
68 00:08:31.380 ⇒ 00:08:48.940 Brylle Girang: Since we have two certifications for platform, or for Omni, rather, we have the Platform certification and then the Quick Start certification, maybe that… those are the, like, the two main certifications that we… we can consider for KR.
69 00:08:49.500 ⇒ 00:08:54.249 Amber Lin: Yeah, we can, yeah. Yeah, because I think we end up…
70 00:08:54.530 ⇒ 00:09:09.690 Amber Lin: asking… we teach the stakeholders that regardless, but I know I’ve been doing some stuff on the Snowflake Cortex stuff, so maybe that’s something we do? I don’t know. It… you guys decide, and then tell me, and I’ll push that.
71 00:09:09.690 ⇒ 00:09:10.389 Brylle Girang: Yeah, yeah.
72 00:09:10.390 ⇒ 00:09:11.989 Amber Lin: I think both works.
73 00:09:12.870 ⇒ 00:09:13.340 Amber Lin: cool.
74 00:09:13.340 ⇒ 00:09:15.460 Brylle Girang: Perfect, yeah. Let’s just talk via Slack.
75 00:09:16.190 ⇒ 00:09:17.619 Amber Lin: Yeah, okay.
76 00:09:17.620 ⇒ 00:09:18.250 Brylle Girang: Thank you, bye-bye.
77 00:09:18.250 ⇒ 00:09:19.869 Amber Lin: Thanks for chatting. Bye!
