What is data science? What does a data scientist do? These are fundamental questions we will be talking about today. Data science is a multidisciplinary discipline with the prime objective of extracting value in all its forms from data. Data science is a process since you need to dig into the data processing stages, from munging data sources and data cleaning to machine learning and finally visualization, you see that specific steps are involved in turning raw data into insight.

Today is my 5th week of #StayHome due to COVID-19 and we are getting used to this new reality – new normal. As we are finding out, lockdown is not going to be temporary by any means, and we might be confined to working from home for several months…… no idea. we all can just pray and hope it will get over quickly and we will go back to our normal life.

Data science shows patterns and observations that can be used by companies to make better choices and develop more creative products and services. Data is the foundation stone of innovation, but its value comes from the knowledge scientists who can learn from it and then act on it.

The following info-graphic from Harvard professors Joe Blitzstein and Hanspeter Pfister outlines a typical data science process, which will help us answer these questions

Digital transformation strategy involves assessing your own requirements and corporate culture, setting business goals and identifying and tracking risks, conducting regular prototypes and testing, asking internal staff for input on these roll-outs, and using new technologies.

For years, the digital transformation seemed like something mostly about computers and software, and data. This is what businesses pursue, for the sake of IT agility, to extract new value from data, model software prototypes of physical goods, or develop business processes.

While such development initiatives are often vital to a company, it turns out that digital transformation is really about us at its heart. That has many powerful lessons to teach us how to think about technology and work, both now and in the future.

The COVID-19 outbreak is a tragedy that will have widespread and long-lasting implications for humanity and our global economy.

I hope you're all staying safe and healthy. And the way discussion started happening in the organizations and at c-level on the key question. How has COVID impacted & how organizations operate?

These conversations make one point very clear. Business transformation enabled by digital is becoming the new normal as the nature of work is redefined by COVID -19. Delivering education online, shifting banks to digital apps, and accelerating the digital automation with RPA, AI/ML, IoT is now required, without any delay.

The digital economy is characterized by rapid development, change, creativity, and disruption. Organizations that want to keep up must be prepared to adapt to this new digital environment. But digital transformation requires more than just adopting new technologies, investing in fancy gadgets, or updating current systems.

That's why it's so important for organizations to have a digital transformation strategy.
