Give preference to generalists<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Especially at the beginning, it is quite normal to not know the full suite of all data science analyses and in which exact direction these should go. In this environment, generalists are ideal. I<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It may be that a generalist needs a little longer initially, but they are usually more flexible in terms of approach, which can be advantageous when first starting out. Generalists are also often more skilled at communicating with stakeholders, which is an enormously important asset, especially in the initial phase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p><em>It may be that a generalist needs a little longer initially, but they are usually more flexible in terms of approach.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is not advisable to look for the \u201cunicorn\u201d that can do everything. One should not expect detailed knowledge in every area. An honest \u201cI don\u2019t know that\u201d shows that there is an awareness of knowledge gaps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Ensure_your_team_can_work_autonomously\"><\/span>2. Ensure your team can work autonomously<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Of course, there are many questions to clarify before our Data Science team can get started. (<em>What data should we work with? What projects should be picked? Business decision support or software for production?<\/em>) Once all this is answered, the team should be able to act autonomously, as too many outside dependencies can block progress unnecessarily.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To keep the project moving forward, the team should have a broad skill set. A self-sufficient team can work more independently and overcome roadblocks more easily. The most important roles are (we will go into more detail below):<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Data Scientists <\/strong>focus on data analysis and statistics.<\/li><li><strong>Software Engineers <\/strong>ensure efficient and easy-to-maintain coding.<\/li><li><strong>Data Engineers <\/strong>manage&nbsp;databases and scalable infrastructures.<\/li><li><strong>Product Managers <\/strong>specify requirements and coordinate with other teams.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Pick_low-hanging_fruits\"><\/span>3. Pick low-hanging fruits<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Choose a simple, manageable project over an excessively ambitious one! Fraud detection, for example, is easier to accomplish than asking,&nbsp;<em>\u201cwhat makes our customers happy?\u201d<\/em>&nbsp;In the process, the team has a chance to learn procedures and processes. Inevitable \u201cteething problems\u201d won\u2019t have far-reaching ill effects when the scope is concise, and corrective measures and refinements are easier to implement quickly with a more discrete scope.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/lucient.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2021\/05\/Data-sc2-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Data science - How to establish a center of excellence\" class=\"img-fluid wp-image-1946\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lucient.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2021\/05\/Data-sc2-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/lucient.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2021\/05\/Data-sc2-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/lucient.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2021\/05\/Data-sc2-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/lucient.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2021\/05\/Data-sc2.jpg 1120w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is also important, as banal as it sounds, to actually come to an end, to really complete the project. By definition, a project has a beginning and an end. Data scientists tend to get bogged down in details and want to fine-tune repeatedly, after all, there is no theoretical end to the potential refinements and deeper understanding possible in the world of Data Science. This is where a Product Manager with an overview and decision-making skills is needed. The sooner we complete a project, the sooner we know what we need to improve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If it must be a big project, it is recommended to divide it into subprojects. If it becomes too complicated, we look for intermediate solutions. Here,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/lucient.com\/en\/machine-learning-ai\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Machine Learning<\/a>&nbsp;can serve as a support for decision making.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Set_the_right_expectations\"><\/span>4. Set the right expectations<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is no news that companies and organizations are becoming more digital and accumulating large amounts of data. On the one hand, of course, this is beneficial because you can learn from this data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But it is possible to be overwhelmed by the sheer volume of data. This is where Data Science comes in to give predictions for optimizations and automation. Often, it does not have to be high-end machine learning algorithms at the beginning. In most cases, relatively simple statistical methods are sufficient.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-style-default is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>It does not have to be high-end machine learning algorithms at the beginning. In most cases, relatively simple statistical methods are sufficient.&nbsp;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Data Science projects are difficult to plan. Much happens based on trial and error. But the earlier you start, the faster&nbsp;the workflows and processes mature. The greater the chance of becoming a data-driven organization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In any case, as many stakeholders as possible should be involved to explain what can be achieved with Data Science in practice. We try to talk to all stakeholders (marketers, managers, engineers) in their language. It may be that something takes time to build an operational data infrastructure and see results. That is where working communication is worth its weight in gold.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Roles_in_the_Data_Science_Team\"><\/span>Roles in the Data Science Team<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We have already discussed a few roles in a functioning Data Science Center of Excellence. In discussions with Lucient\u2019s experienced specialists and after reading the relevant literature, the following important types have crystallized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It should be emphasized at this point that these are not positions that must be filled by a particular individual. In practice, it is common that these competencies are distributed among different personnel and also a single person might cover multiple roles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>The&nbsp;<strong>Chief Analytics Officer\/Chief Data Officer&nbsp;<\/strong>is the technical lead. He forms the bridge to the specialist departments. He can be considered a visionary.<\/li><li>The&nbsp;<strong>Data Analyst&nbsp;<\/strong>ensures that the right data is interpreted and analyzed correctly.<\/li><li>The&nbsp;<strong>Business Analyst&nbsp;<\/strong>has the necessary technical expertise, which they bring to data analysis.<\/li><li>The&nbsp;<strong>Data Scientist&nbsp;<\/strong>solves business problems using machine learning and data mining technologies.<\/li><li>The&nbsp;<strong>Machine Learning Engineer&nbsp;<\/strong>focuses on the practical \/ software (architecture) part of the data model.<\/li><li>The&nbsp;<strong>Data Journalist&nbsp;<\/strong>specializes in telling a story from the acquired data.<\/li><li>The&nbsp;<strong>Data Architect&nbsp;<\/strong>designs a suitable data infrastructure.

Especially when you lead a team of data scientists, it is enormously important to have your finger on the pulse of the times to implement new technologies at an early stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/lucient.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2021\/05\/Data-sc3-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Data Science excellence\" class=\"img-fluid wp-image-1945\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lucient.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2021\/05\/Data-sc3-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/lucient.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2021\/05\/Data-sc3-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/lucient.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2021\/05\/Data-sc3-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/lucient.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2021\/05\/Data-sc3.jpg 1120w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Focus on business impact<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Data Science is not<em>&nbsp;l\u2019art pour l\u2019art<\/em>. We do it to achieve added value for the company. Really good data scientists think entrepreneurially, use resources economically, and do not get bogged down unnecessarily by esoteric or arcane issues that do not provide real business ROI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Solid software engineering skills<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Really good Data Scientists also think like developers and pay attention to practically applicable code.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Expectation management&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Really good Data Scientists know about the different approaches to different stakeholders and how to communicate with them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>At home in the cloud<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You will not get very far offline on your own notebook.
