Using Patterns to Gain Work Efficiency


This blog is part two of the information session I would have provided the support team on Tuesday. Part One was yesterday’s post about using Basic SQL syntax to help with our day-to-day work. Part Two is about using patterns to gain work efficiencies. This is probably the most important part of the session that I was going to conduct, as it can be used to gain efficiency and job satisfaction. Pattern identification is how my spider brain works when I am given a task to do. This would have been a great interactive session, but this is the best delivery now. Please feel free to reach out to me for 1:1 coaching opportunities, and I will be happy to review what you are working on and see if we can find efficiencies together.

Identifying Patterns in Our Day-to-Day Work Life

Identifying work-life patterns involves observing recurring events, behaviours, or tasks. These could be anything from your most productive tasks to those that take up most of your time or even how specific meetings or interactions tend to go.

When I am doing a task, I tend to ask myself these three questions:

  1. Have I done that task before now?
  2. Does this task have repeatable components to it?
  3. Is there a tool that I can utilize to make this task more efficient?

Worked with Andrew for over 2 years and I have to say Andrew is one of the best when it comes to technology awareness and attention to detail. He is the go to person whether it is for technical guidance or even finding business solutions. It was an amazing experience working with you, hope our paths cross again very soon. Cheers

Nishant Khullar - Senior Product Manager

Andrew is an exceptional leader, problem solver and role model!

He's a great mentor who's easy to approach and is always willing to set up time in his busy schedule to help resolve technical issues for others. He's demonstrated and shared extensive technical knowledge duing debug sessions I've had with him, and is fast and efficient when it comes to resolving issues.

Working with Andrew has been a fantastic learning experience for myself, as his advice and mentoring has helped me improve as a Developer. I'm very glad to have had opportunities to work with him!

Julian Austria - Senior .NET Implementation Specialist at Doxim

Andrew is a very talented developer, manager, and respected leader. Andrew led a remote office that housed over 30 employees, and he coordinated with an offshore team of about 60. He motivates his colleagues by modelling the behaviour he expects of others.

Andrew is passionate about, and dedicated to, customer success. It was stress-relieving when Andrew got involved in a customer escalation; I knew I could leave it to him to interact with the customer, get to the bottom of the issue, and keep everyone apprised of the situation throughout.

Greg Fenton - Product at Stealth Startup

Andrew is a great professional to work with. I had the pleasure of working from on the same project, and he leads by example. His work ethics is immaculate and so easy to work together with. He goes out of his way when you ask for some help and guidance.

His ability to deal with a crisis and come up with new ways to achieve results were always an inspiration. I am delighted I had chance to learn from Andrew.

I would love to work with Andrew again in the future and would highly recommend him for any role or job he wish to undertake.

Andrew is passionate about technology and building great software. Though he enjoys being hands-on and doing development directly, Andrew is also a strong mentor and relishes seeing his reports develop as technologists and as team leaders. He is very keen about staying on top of the latest technologies, is involved in local technology peer groups and encourages his reports to participate as well.

Though his primary responsibility is for developing packaged software, Andrew is very comfortable working directly with clients and brings a client-centric approach to his products.

Andrew is a dedicated employee, was absolutely dependable as a report and am I very glad to have had the opportunity to work with him for four years.

As the Vice President, Professional Services at Doxim I worked closely with Andrew on a number of occasions over two years. In his role as Director, R&D it was important that we were able to collaborate on what was best for everyone; clients, product road map, and the implementation team. Andrew was very open to this approach and easy to work with.

I looked to Andrew for advice due to his deep technical product knowledge and open door attitude. It would be a pleasure to work with him in the future.

I had the pleasure of working for Andrew for 3 years, he is the best manager I’ve ever had at an office. In all that time he was never just someone’s boss but a leader. He was always willing to take the time to help and direct, patient and understanding of an individual’s needs and their skill sets. He always worked to better himself, willing to listen to feedback about how he could improve to be a more effective leader. In that 3 years he helped me grow not only as a professional but as an individual and I hope to have the pleasure of working with him in the future.

Andrew is an excellent software architect. Because of his many years of experience in software development, he knows a variety of creative solutions and he ensures the system does what the client needs it to do. In addition, his experience leading teams means that he can also build and lead the teams to do the required work. During the time I have worked for Andrew he has always been encouraging and invested in my success. It is fair to say that my career progression under Andrew was a direct result of his advice and mentoring. If you are looking for someone to oversee your project while leading the teams that will see it through to completion, hire Andrew!

Andrew is wonderful to work with, and has exceptional expertise in leadership, coaching, motivation. He consistently demonstrated a solid work ethic at Doxim and dedication to success.

I have worked with Andrew for a few years now. I can say that he is one of the finest managers I have worked with. Andrew is an effective coder and a great leader, and even under pressure gets the job done. He has also been a great mentor to myself and others in the office.

I would recommend Andrew to lead any team without reservation.

He has a keen ability in creating a work environment in which team members are able to grow and excel in their roles. Andrew is a skilled motivator who leads by example, he is a great asset to the organization and his team.

Andrew is a very hard working, open and respectful director. He does his best to fill gaps where he sees them - whether it's resource constraints, time constraints, or technical constraints, Andrew always does his best to help address these to move the various departments along.

Andrew has been very good working with other departments such as Professional Services - he listens to our concerns and helps to the best of his ability.

I work and coordinate with Andrew on almost a daily basis, and even though our goals may be at a crossroads at times, we find a common ground that works for both of our departments.

I do not think that we could have any better person in place to direct our R&D team than Andrew!

Dawid Zalewski - Software Developer at Great-West Life

Andrew is an excellent Director of R&D and always goes above and beyond to ensure his team and co-workers are happy, at the same time delivering great products. While I had worked in the professional service team at Doxim I had the chance to work 1-on-11 with Andrew many times when deploying and debugging different levels of software bugs. Andrew was always willing to mentor myself and many others to ensure we have a full understanding of the R&D Projects. Andrew was a primary go-to resource for employees in the Professional Service team, and he would always make time in his busy schedule to help us out when needed, both for helping debug or deploy solutions, or just to have a chat about how things are going – even if it meant working late hours.

His skills with working in an Agile .NET workshop are extremely impressive and can be viewed as someone who has a true passion for his work.

Andrew Pallant is passionate about Toastmasters and in his role as VP of Membership he was instrumental in creating new material to increase membership, while also being the club expert and mentor for helping members improve their communication skills using electronic aids. Andrew is a valuable asset to London Western and I am happy to endorse his work. I am delighted that he is now the club president and I look forward to working with him in this role to an even greater extent as Area 71 Governor this year. I am confident that with Andrew as the leader, London Western will continue to grow and help members achieve excellence. Thank you Andrew!

Increasing awareness was always one of the goals of this conference and thanks to your generosity, we were once again able to make the weekend happen. So, on behalf of the committee and all participants, I want to thank you for stepping up to the plate when we really needed your kind of expertise. You really made a difference. Because of the website, people were able to view the details of the conference and link to the online registration. We heard lots of people comment on the ease of access – and how nice and simple the new website looked. Thanks to you. -

Andrew is unlike any other I've ever worked with in his field. He is highly skilled and experienced in his profession and will never shy away from going the extra mile to ensure a quality product or solution. On top of that, his knowledge of social media is a definite asset and his insight on how Marketing and Design individuals work/think makes a world of difference. Second to none. Andrew is easy to work with, get along with and communicate with. A true professional who isn't above enjoying a good laugh. A true asset to any team he joins - my blood-pressure is sure to go up if ever I find myself not working on the same team as Andrew.

True story. :)
