Overview
Data Science for Business Professionals (DSBIZ) offers business professionals with the necessary knowledge to help make decisions and drive organizational data strategies by understanding data fundamentals, implementation tactics, and potential effects of data-driven solutions.
Overview:
The ability to identify and respond to changing trends is a hallmark of a successful business. Whether those trends are related to customers and sales, or to regulatory and industry standards, businesses are wise to keep track of the variables that can affect the bottom line. In today’s business landscape, data comes from numerous sources and in diverse forms. By leveraging data science concepts and technologies, businesses can mold all of that raw data into information that facilitates decisions to improve and expand the success of the business.
Benefits of Data Science
The value of data has increased many fold as organizations begin to realize the potential for it to inform their decision making and even predict likely outcomes. What most organizations struggle with is what data to capture, how to engineer it for use, and then apply it to its business challenges. This is leading to the creation of data teams, or at least cross-functional data-focused teams, who know the data needed to derive the insights which will deliver value. This is possible for any organization with the right blend of data-focused knowledge and skills.
