To survive in today’s digital economy, it’s imperative for organizations to convert their key business stakeholders into “Citizens of Data Science.” Meaning, they should not only understand where and how to apply data science to power the business, but champion a data-first approach toward decision-making across the entire organization.
That’s the subject my new workbook, “The Art of Thinking Like A Data Scientist”, seeks to accomplish. It’s designed to be a pragmatic tool that can help your organization leverage data and analytics to power its business and operational models. The content is jammed with templates, worksheets, examples, and hands-on exercises — all composed to help reinforce and deploy the fundamental concepts of “Thinking Like A Data Scientist.” Read More

But for that strategy to succeed, companies must develop algorithms that rely on AI/ML technology to run their business. And what is the life force behind algorithms? Data. Lots of data. That makes data trading, internally and with customers and suppliers, essential to unlocking the power of AI/ML.
The critical management question is how to do it? Read More
What is DataOps and Why It’s Critical to the Data Monetization Value Chain
In my previous blog “How DevOps Drives Analytics Operationalization and Monetization”, I discussed the critical and complementary role of DevOps to operationalize and monetize the analytics that came out of the Data Science development process. While the combination of Design Thinking and Data Science accelerate the creation of more effective, more predictive analytic modules (where analytic modules are packaged, reusable and extensible analytic modules), it’s the combination of Data Science and DevOps that drives analytic model operationalization and monetization.
