Figure It Out With Fatema El-Wakeel

In this episode of Figure It Out With Fatema, Jeff Thomson and I will discuss data science between the past, the present and the future. We will discuss data science as a profession, data science projects, analytics, sustainability, etc.

How can you drive the human behaviour within your organisation to speak about data and ask for Analytics projects?   

Data strategy is change management in disguise. In data strategy we speak about analytics, future technologies and much more. Some of the things we cover in data strategy only makes sense to us as practitioners in the field. 

Having the cross functional buy in and creating business engagement is all about human behaviour.   

In this episode of Figure it out with Fatema, I will explain a couple of examples where organisations have done this perfectly and how you can apply that to your data strategy.

Ethical decisions are important for everyone at all levels of the organisation; it’s essential that we make the right moral decisions that will put the business in the right place ethically and benefit humanity. Putting an ethics lens on Data and Analytics helps professionals find the right answers to the questions raised by digging into the data. Analytics can also be used to identify ethical issues and uncover fraud very early.
