Will the Data Analyst and Data Scientist roles be extinct soon?

The current development in the market screams for different approaches. AI helps us do our work and can already do parts better and faster than humans, specifically in Analytics.

So will the role completely disappear? 𝘕𝘰, 𝘐 𝘥𝘰𝘯’𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘬 𝘴𝘰, 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘪𝘵 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘦 𝘥𝘳𝘢𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺.

In our conversation #12 with @‌Louis de Roo, a data strategy leader from Emergo, we discussed the impact of the constant technology innovation in the data industry especially in data analysts and how this role will adapt to new upcoming updates.

Data Governance klinkt saai, tijdrovend, duur…. en weer een engelse term.

Het is echter een key onderdeel van Data Management.

Goed Data Management levert je vanaf dag 1 inzichten op in je organisatie. Er zijn mooie tools beschikbaar om je hierbij te helpen, maar bewust of onbewust worden deze tools door mensen niet goed gebruikt, waardoor het niet functioneert.

Ligt hier wellicht het probleem en de oplossing voor Data Management?

In onze 11e aflevering van de Data & AI Talks Podcast hebben we @‌Ronald Baan, voorzitter van DAMA NL, uitgenodigd om hierover in gesprek te gaan.

De volgende onderwerpen worden ook besproken in deze aflevering:

✅ Wat is datamanagement?

✅ Waar kan het misgaan bij het opzetten van Data Management?

✅ Is Data Management wel interessant voor het MKB?

✅ Wat zijn de veelgestelde vragen over Data Management?

✅ Is het raadzaam voor organisaties om het zelf te doen of kunnen ze er beter iemand voor inhuren?

✅ Ronald´s advies aan organisaties met grote data afdelingen over wat en hoe te doen

AI makes us rethink what it means to be human. Do we want our AI to be as human as possible? Will we see the difference between communicating with a human or an AI? Will it then also make mistakes like us humans? 🤔

There are so many ethical questions and possibilities of what AI can still do in the future.

In our 10th podcast, we will talk about eye-opening influences of humans to AI and vice versa that some, if not most, of us are unaware of. 👇🏻

Our guest for this episode of our Data & AI Talks podcast is @‌Marc Jacobs, a Data Scientist, absolute fan of numbers, and also writer. He will lead us through an open discussion on what should we be looking in the future for Artificial Intelligence.

You will also gain understanding on below topics:

✅ What is the future vision for AI?

✅ What exactly is dedicated symbiosis?

✅ How is the collaboration between humans and AI developing

✅ What does AI mean for being human?

✅ What can we all do to develop AI in a safe way?

Many companies are focused short term and want quick fixes for creating insights. Just set up a new dashboard, and that's it, right? Wrong. ❌

These quick fixes often create an unmanageable mess at the back end. Usually relying on one person having oversight and holding the whole thing together.

Just as in a house, we may overlook a small issue that appears to be insignificant, only to later discover that it has grown into a significant problem that’s a pain to fix. 🏠

The same is true for data problems that we forget or don't bother fixing in our companies just because it’s not causing major issues at the moment.

But how do you make a good balance between quick and dirty useful solutions and sustainable long-term solutions? 🤔

Simple! Tune in to the 8th episode of our Data & AI Talks Podcast and you will discover ways how to resolve it. 👀

We will be joined by @‌Johann van Biljon, a seasoned data specialist with over 25 years of experience. He will provide valuable insights about the complex world of data and technology.

In this episode, you will gain insights on the following topics: 👇🏻

✅ What really is the real problem in terms of data management in every organization and what caused it

✅ Potential solutions to address these challenges

✅ The things that most organizations often overlook when managing data teams

✅ The ideal way to manage both data and IT teams

✅ The role technology experts play in shaping organization-wide plans

So now we have all these data and data tools, but most of us don't know how to properly work with both.

As a population in a whole, our data IQ is pretty low. We need to get more data literate to increase the value we get from Data.

But how do we do that? How do we truly become a data drive organization and build a culture around data?

In our 7th podcast we invited Olivier Maugain, Data Culturist & Analytics Services Manager at a big international furniture store, to give us his insights on data literacy and its importance.

Hoe gebruikt u uw data? 🤔

We weten allemaal dat data belangrijk is voor elke organisatie. Het helpt ons te meten waar we staan en doelen te stellen om vooruit te blijven bewegen.

Maar er kan nog veel meer. Data Science helpt ons om uit te zoeken wat we precies meer kunnen doen. Wat werkt en wat niet?

Daarom hebben we in de volgende aflevering van onze wekelijkse Data Hiring Talks podcast Martijn Tilma, Manager van de afdeling Data Science bij Enexis Groep, uitgenodigd om ons te helpen begrijpen 𝘩𝘰𝘸 𝘸𝘦 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘢𝘥𝘥 𝘷𝘢𝘭𝘶𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘥𝘢𝘵𝘢.💡

Een aantal vragen die ik hem stelde: ⬇️

1. Is het beter om helemaal te stoppen met het verzamelen van data of is er hoop?

2. Bestaat er zoiets als perfecte data?

3. Waarom is het zo moeilijk om data goed te krijgen?

4. Hoe moeten we omgaan met onbetrouwbare data?

5. Wat kunnen we doen om succes te boeken?

6. Wie heeft er baat bij goede data in een organisatie?

7. Iedereen wil waarde creëren uit zijn gegevens. Maar hoe doe je dat?

8. Wat is data science voor jou precies en hoe pas je het toe?

9. Wat is jouw tip voor organisaties op het gebied van data in 2023?
