I understand operations in my job from a standpoint of historical context. Understanding my job from an historical context helps significantly because any sourcing event I am assigned, I know who did the prior solicitation which gives me insight into how the project was done before. I have been in my current job for over 16 years so I have seen many different executive leaders come and go which helps me understand the direction my organization operates in as it is affected by how the previous leadership operated. This skill is beneficial to others who are much newer to the organization because I can share insight with them on the projects they are assigned as well.
