EPM doesn\u2019t get a lot of polymaths, does it. Yet Mike is exactly one of those.<\/h1>\n
A polymath<\/a> is, \u201ca person of great and varied learning\u201d although Mike is too modest to agree with that description. If you but listen to this conversation, you (and he) will see that it is a fair characterization.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
NB \u2013 The above graphic isn\u2019t for n00bs but instead for veteran EPM practitioners who recognize the graphical genius of the long-gone and much-lamented Arbor Software\u2019s training decks. Mike has several ties to this as you\u2019ll hear.<\/p>\n

But wait, there\u2019s more<\/h1>\n
In addition to Yr. Obt. Svt.<\/em>, this conversation also has Natalie Delemar<\/a> as our guest host and regular John Booth<\/a>. This varying cast of characters is what I hope is the (or at least a) future of EPM Conversations. Tim, Celvin, John, and I are wonderful (ahem) hosts but there\u2019s much, much, much more to EPM than us, cf. our guests and Natalie.<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve known (at least I was at the same conference although as I really and truly worked 100 hours that week in addition to presenting and working a booth so if I did meet Mike I have no recollection of it) Mike since Kscope 2009 in Carmel.<\/p>\n
What I didn\u2019t<\/em> know was how much Mike has done: Atari 600xl owner<\/a>, COMPUTE! magazine<\/a> subscriber, English school teacher, roofing product computer operator\/developer, operations management, Hyperion course writer, Essbase consultant, Planning consultant, Essbase PM, Big 4 consultant, startup analytics evangelist, Big 4 (but a different one) leader, and I\u2019m sure a few more roles I\u2019ve missed<\/a>. What is crucial to understand and what is central to what Mike does and cares about is making sense of data, i.e. analytics.<\/p>\n
