Hi ,
Chances are, you're reading this email on a device you didn’t build yourself. Why would you? Tech companies can build you a far better device for a much lower cost than you could ever manage alone. As with many other cases in life, this is an example of where it is better to buy than to
build.
Yet, in building a data team, many organisations assume the only solution is to build from within. And although this may be the right solution for some organisations, building a solution isn’t right for all.
In the latest episode of Value Driven Data
Science, I'm joined by Collin Graves, CEO of North Labs, to discuss what a bought solution might look like in the data science space, and whether it is right for you.

- (01:43) Collin's journey from the US Air Force to data science
- (09:53) The birth of North Labs: a fractional data
analytics firm
