Hi ,
When data science first became the must-have skill of the 21st century, organisations were fighting to recruit the best and brightest data science talent. But the glory of having a data scientist on staff was often short-lived, as many organisations
soon found they didn’t know what to do with them.
Business leaders had been sold the dream of being able to turn their data into business gold but were unable to maximise the value of the data science expertise they had brought in because they couldn’t communicate effectively with their new data science teams.
In the latest episode of Value Driven Data Science, I'm joined by Dr Howard Friedman, co-author of Winning with Data Science, to discuss how adopting a customer mindset can help business leaders capitalise on the hidden value of data.
Some of the things we discuss in this episode include:
- How Howard's personal experiences informed the writing of Winning with Data Science.
- What business leaders should know, in order to be effective customers of data science teams.
- How important is it for business leaders to be up to date with the latest data science trends and buzzwords?
- What data scientists should know in order to work more effectively
with business leaders.
- Howard's previous book, Ultimate Price.
- How data scientists and economists go about placing a price on human life.
