Microsoft Dynamics Most Influential People Analysis

 

Doug Pitcher’s has released his countable and actual list of OFFICIAL 100 most famous, awesome and totally influential Dynamics people for 2012!

The list is awesome, he used transparent and unbiased methods to nominate and elect for people (for sure he been a little biased with himself! But as the list belongs to his blog then he can do whatever he needs as what others do!).

Personally I liked the idea of having list of most influential people over the Dynamics Community but the questionable part is the “votes” that would value the level of influence you have over the product you support, as what have been introduced in DynamicsWorld’s list, but following everyone else I been nominated and encouraged my followers to vote for me for the last three rounds of votes and unfortunately this round I didn’t make it to the list.

Following the selection criteria of DynamicsWorld’s list which was quoted from the site:

We base our selections on a number of criteria including: Number of nominations received; Number of Microsoft Dynamics employees employed; Number of clients your ISV/VAR has; As an end user how many user licences taken; Social Media Followers (bloggers/twitter/ linkedin) (bonuses for group owners); Number of years experience of Microsoft Dynamics; MVP Recipients; Developers of Add-Ons and new verticals; Speakers and writers about Microsoft Dynamics; Forum contributors and Number of votes received. We attempt to limit what can actually be described as a sphere of influence. The advantage that we have had in quantifying influence in Microsoft Dynamics is that we are dealing with a group of people with similar interests, and so it is possible to be able to quantify one persons influence over the group against another person’s influence.

Unfortunately the people did not publish what the weight of each role and how the roles will be measured, where I would question the transparency of the selection and therefore do not count on the list as a measurement of the product influence, I have saw people on the list with thousands of votes where I never saw a contribution for these nor I knew what does they really do! and on the other hand the list is missing many valuable resources who indeed has big influence over the blogosphere and on the product itself, I am so sure that David' Musgrave might take the first name on the list but he wasn’t counted.

My advise to everyone, do not always believe what published! Do your evaluation in person and decide who can make it in your list as Doug did!

I have did my homework and reanalyzed the results as below, check and enjoy:

I used every single piece of my mind to try to find a reasonable link between votes and results with no luck, maybe one of the community has a bigger mind can help simplify the calculation!

Bottomline is It's just "Trash". There is no formidable framework to arrive at the ranks. I believe this was the case in the past year hopefully they should have learnt it this year. At least the idea has been a success because everyone wants to see their name on the board as long as it has an influential tagline so obviously I see people on the nominations list becoming hungry sending emails on personalized basis to vote for them like a regular election. To me, When you contribute to even a single question on the community, you're influential. I'm quite surprised to see people on the nominations advocating this idea and seeking votes almost each time on their blogs that implies they have fallen to a smart marketing initiative. Personally, I do not even think about it.
