It may seem a bit counter-intuitive but it's a good idea to try and make Data-Science boring! In other words, reduce the excitement around data and analytics and convert it into a more "business as usual" activity. Chief Data-Scientist and Mango Solutions co-founder Rich Pugh is joined by Dave Gardner, deputy director of client services at Mango to explain to host, Dave Harries, how to take the hype out of data's exciting new frontier.
In this episode, Dean Wood, Principal Data Scientist at Mango Solutions and Chris James, Mango's Deputy Director of Client Services, discuss the importance of Data Engineering underpinning all data-driven transformation. They consider the essential elements that must be in place to maximise the chances of an effective data-science function and they discuss the role of data engineers as an essential part of any data and analytics team.
In this episode Richard Pugh, Chief Data Scientists at Mango Solutions is joined by special guest Esther McMorris, CEO and founder at Nine Feet Tall, Mango's change partner.

Rich and Dave, look at the issues and problems involved and tell us how they ensure reliability in a data-driven business.

Too many companies are using data to solve the wrong problem, because they don't define what it is they want to achieve before diving in to a complex data-science project. The result is often "Right answer, wrong question" and of little practical use to the organisation. Rich and David tell us how to avoid such pitfalls and how to make sure you are asking the right question from the start.
