Keynote Topic: Doing Data Science Right: You Can't Find the Treasure without the Map
Data science is evolving from magic that other organizations perform to something we’re developing as a core competency internally. Solutions have no value if they do not address the problem and data science is no different. Data science starts with the skill of determining the problem or question, which drives the analytics that follow. Much of the focus of data science has been on the treasure at the end of the hunt rather than ensuring you have the right map. In this session, Larsonaddresses the importance of clear problem definition to ensure value from the data science process.
