Common Mistakes About Data Science And Your Role Within It

Earlier this month I had the pleasure of speaking at ODSC East, as the best future talent Data Science talent gathered together to discuss the direction of our industry.  With Data Science becoming such a broad term that covers a number of functions, and with the rise of new areas such as Blockchain, AI and ML, I wanted to talk about what it actually means to be a Data Scientist now, and in the future.  With this in mind, we conducted a survey over the course of the event where we asked what Data Science meant to the people there. Here’s what we found out: WHAT IS DATA SCIENTIST, ACTUALLY? Every company thinks they need one, and every analyst wants to be one, but more and more job titles that are not necessarily Data Science are now being billed as Data Scientists. In fact, when we asked people what they considered their job title to be, regardless of experience, Data Science came out on top: Data Scientist: 58% Data Analyst: 22% Machine Learning Engineer: 10% Business Intelligence Analyst: 9%  However, from my experience, this is not necessarily accurate. I once worked with the Senior Manager of Data Science in a very well established Retailer. He’d been there for less than one year and was already on the job market. In his interview he had been told that the company were fully behind investing in a top-class Data Science department but had actually ended up managing a team of people who were building dashboards creating reports for all areas of the business. This is much less Data Science, and much more Business Intelligence.  This confusion is quite typical within the industry and frequently needs to both unhappy employers and employees.  MORE THAN JUST TOOLS One common mistake when it comes to misidentifying Data Scientists is a result of people focusing on the tools people use. Whilst both Data Scientists and Marketing & Insight specialists might be skilled up in Python, R and SQL, their methodologies are significantly different. When asked to define a true Data Scientist at the event, 73% of people agreed the definition is: “A person who uses scientific methods, processes, algorithms and systems to extract knowledge and insights from structured and unstructured data.” Companies who panic about needing a Data Scientist to keep up with their competitors often ignore these crucial points and end up listing  every tool on a job spec. Frequently those who claim they want a Data Scientist actually want an Insight Analyst who can understand how customers behave, what they respond well to, what they’re talking about on social media, and how this unstructured data can be used to help their business make better decisions. WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR ME? For someone wanting to work in the Data & Analytics field there is one key rule: Know Yourself.  Think carefully about aspects within your Science, Operational Research, Statistics, and Analytics in general that you enjoy and how you can work them into your career. If you’re in college and just starting your career, don’t limit yourself by the sectors you think you have to work in; enjoy gaming? The gaming industry uses Data to make characters more lifelike, make sure they move in real-time and ensure that they play in a realistic way.  Just as crucial, however, is having an understanding of what the analytical teams around you do. Consider what roles they play in your business and how you are all interlinked, whilst being aware of the unique differences between roles. And, outside of analytics, those who understand what impact their work has on a business will always stand out amongst a crowd.  Essentially, don’t let yourself be limited by the title of Data Scientist. There are hundreds of roles within Data & Analytics so think about which one is right for you, rather than following the crowd.  If you’re looking for your next opportunity in Data & Analytics, or are looking to build out a team, take a look at our latest roles or get in touch with one of our expert consultants: For our West Coast Team, call (415) 614 - 4999 or send an email to sanfraninfo@harnham.com.   For our Mid-West and East Coast Teams, call (212) 796 - 6070 or send an email to newyorkinfo@harnham.com.  Or, if you'd like to talk to me directly about anything I've talked about above, feel free to drop me a line at jennikavanagh@harnham.com.

RISK AND REWARD – YOUR RISK ANALYTICS TEAM

Apartment applications. Job applications. Credit card and bank applications. We’re sharing our data today like never before and with the advent of AI and other technological advances, we’re sharing at a more rapid rate. Data breaches and unethical behaviors give us pause before we jot down our most precious information but, ultimately, there’s no stemming the tide. So, who watches out for us, the customer and the company? Enter the Risk Management Team. It All Begins with Perception In May 2018, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) became law across the European Union. Its goal? To place stringent requirements on how business handles customer data. Make no mistake, however, the need and the desire is not EU-specific. It is a matter of trust and security; something customers today demand, for the most part, before signing their information away to be organized, catalogued, and analyzed. Risk teams ensure your data will be used appropriately and ensure processes for future applications.  How do they do this? Risk teams need a cross-pollination of skillsets to help mitigate risk across industries. Often, risk begins in the financial sector, but it can also incorporate project management, data teams, marketing, sales, and Business Intelligence officials. And, with the advances of technology, they may also utilize Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning to model historical data for future predictions. They must ask the right questions, ensure the right data is used for the right purpose, and validate their findings in a real-world environment. Roles of Risk Though in today’s market, everyone has a part to play, those who are focused on risk and considered part of the Risk Management Team might include the following: Chief Financial Officer (CFO) and Board Members or StakeholdersBusiness Analyst and Data Science OfficerRisk Analyst and Project ManagerStrategy and Predictive ModellerIT Marketing Together, these individuals work to challenge models, data, and decisions on behalf of customers while adhering to the company’s bottom line. Though Big Data and advanced analytics have evolved, the need to understand risks which differ in complexity, type, speed, and size remains. A few questions your Risk team might find itself asking, include: What is the impact of data and how it’s analyzed? Have we invested enough in human capital and technology, and advanced Data Analytics to focus on any potential risk including but not limited to cyber risk?Are our validations timely and appropriate? Who is responsible for decisions made by AI?Do we have the right people in place? The right tools? Are we willing and ready to challenge our data-driven and analytics-related risks?What’s our risk perspective? Do we have a good plan in place? Who will help us put one together and implement it? Ultimately, risk management in any sector, is the integration of people, processes and tools to ensure early identification and solution of risk across the enterprise. Setting the Stage or How to Get Your Risk Management Started Get buy-in from senior leadership and stakeholders as well as their commitment and dedicated participation to manage enterprise-wide risk.Make Risk Management a priority and enforce it throughout its life-cycle.Ensure technical and program management are both represented.Program management and engineering specialties should be communicated to ensure the right information is generated to help mitigate risk.Ensure risk team members, particularly those in program management, identify any concerns such as contracting, funding, costs, risks, and anything which might promote potentially dangerous ramifications if left unchecked. Even before your players are in place, you may want to consider a Risk Management Plan. Your team can help develop the parameters and implement it, but first you need to know what it is you need to watch. The CFO role in the risk team involves knowing who to pull together, what to look for, and to execute any cost-saving measures through a well-thought out plan to mitigate risk.  Four Items to Consider When Creating Your Credit Risk Team As important as technological advances have become to help mitigate risk, a business still needs human capital to analyze AI decisions and offer creative solution. So, the first two items to consider when building your team may seem unusually obvious. But, the second two, may not be so clearly necessary. These included oversight and systems-wide supply chain webs of data which must be carefully tended. TechnologyHuman Capital - Get everyone on board to ensure the program’s support; Assemble the appropriate people to assess the firm’s risks; Educate your team; Set your risk level.Supply Chain - Globalization has made companies’ supply chains more vulnerable than ever. Risk Governance - Conduct a SWOT analysis (Strengths/Weaknesses/Opportunities/Threats) to help engage your company members at every level as subtly work in broader educational efforts. Want to help the 99% have access to funds they need to live the lives they want? We may have a role for you.
