It’s not enough just to give data scientists access to Jupyter notebooks in the cloud. Skipper Seabold and Lori Eich argue that to build truly data-driven organizations, everyone from data scientists and managers to business stakeholders needs to work in concert to bring data science out of the wilderness and into the core of decision-making processes.
For most organizations, this constitutes a big change. To help you on your way, Skipper and Lori share how Civis Analytics built a data science platform that allows data scientists to be transformative within the organization.
