Rezensionen

"Not only does the discipline of data science need this book, it holds critical insights and lessons for other facets of enterprise IT too. For the first time, the critically important ideas of Emergent Design practice have been weaved into the hyper-rational world of data science in an accessible and practical way. Kailash Awati and Alex Scriven have written the first Data Science book of its kind - a must read for anyone interested in the governance of data and the complex problems that data and analytics seeks to help solve."

-Paul Culmsee, Managing Partner, Seven Sigma Business Solutions

"If you are passionate about the successful implementation of Data Science and Analytics strategies, then put this book on your required reading list. You will learn why and how to define a direction by finding and framing problems that matter to people across the organisation."

-Zanne Van Wyk, Worldwide Education Industry Architect at Microsoft

"Data Science and Analytics Strategy covers a wide range of topics like building analytics and data science capability, building data driven culture in the organization and ethical aspects of practicing data science. It includes advice which are easy and very practical to use in real world scenarios. All in all, a great read for all those who want to setup analytics and data science practises within their organization. "

- Duhita Khadepau Director (Analytics and Data Science), Assignar

"A refreshingly practical approach to success in data science and machine learning. The value of Awati and Scriven's contribution to this field is that emergent design lends to data science a coherence that previously was missed in the chasm between the promise of new tech and the organisational change required to harness it. They've bridged that gap with a highly accessible read, weaving the wealth of their collective experience with the rigour of leading researchers, intellectuals and practitioners into a lively jaunt covering the full vocabulary of concepts for leaders (from deep learning to tech stack to GDPR) that will hold 'aha' moments for even the most seasoned data and analytics professionals and (hopefully!) spawn a new generation of strategic leadership and emergent practice in this space."

-Passiona Cottee, Associate Director, NSW Government.

"Succeeding with Data Science and Analytics is no easy ride, however this book gives the reader a range of ideas and actions to combat the challenges faced by professionals in this field. Finding a path to success requires new approaches and this book provides a refreshing perspective for practitioners to consider as they strive for success."
