The Economist boldly claims that data are now 'the world's most valuable resource.' But, as Kenett and Redman so richly describe, unlocking that value requires far more than technical excellence. Individual data scientists must fully extend themselves. They must make sure they understand the real problems their companies and agencies face, they must build trust with decision-makers, deal with quality issues, help decision makers become more demanding customers of data science, and they must teach their colleagues how to understand and interpret data science--even conduct basic analyses themselves. Further up in the management chain, managers of data science teams must help senior leaders understand where data and data science fit, ensure their teams are placed in the right spots organizationally, and put in place programs that help the entire organization become data-driven. This Kenett and Redman claim, is the 'real work of data science.' And it is this work that will spells the difference between a good data scientist and a great one, between a team that makes marginal contributions and one that drives the business, between a company that gains some value from its data and one in which data truly is 'the most valuable resource'"--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aDatabase management$xQuality control 606 $aElectronic data processing 606 $aData mining 615 0$aDatabase management$xQuality control. 615 0$aElectronic data processing. 615 0$aData mining. 676 $a005.7406 686 $aSCI028000$aMAT029000$aBUS061000$2bisacsh 700 $aKenett$b Ron$0874200 702 $aRedman$b Thomas C. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910539733903321 996 $aThe real work of data science$92773440 997 $aUNINA
