Hi there,
Ahhh, data science. It’s been held up as a holy grail and a new survey shows big enterprises are certainly counting on it as a key for their long-term success, with the majority of companies polled expecting new revenue growth from their data prowess.
CDOs, however, aren’t so confident, saying their companies aren’t investing enough, and they aren’t investing in the right places. What has been delivered is not really cutting it for long term results. They know it but getting other execs to genuinely embrace data-led thinking is a more complex task.
If the top end of town can’t get data science right, what hope is there for the rest of us? And where to even begin?
The report suggests it’s time for a pretty major makeover across people, processes and tools – and a change in focus from short term gains to long term wins.
Enjoy the read,
