In this episode, Michael and I discussed his perspective on data science along with what is the role of a data scientist and how has it evolved with the explosion of no-code tools that has democratised access to the technology.
Having spent the last 5 years building solutions in the payments, fin-tech and consumer retail space, Michael is a data scientist and entrepreneur whose favourite component of data science is predictive modelling and story-telling.
Here’s a very insightful quote from Micheal:
“That the most powerful thing that any business can do today is to start storing data effectively, capturing data comprehensively and sharing it collectively across the business.”
We covered a lot of ground in this discussion, so I encourage you to have a listen for yourself. Here are some key points in this podcast episode:
➡️ The in-depth definition of data science from a data scientist. What does a data scientist do?
➡️ Decision science versus data
➡️ The application of data science in a more scientific approach that influences the decision making of a company.
➡️ Is decision science and data science into the day to day operation of the business still lacking in a lot of organisations?
...and more!
