Value Creation in Data … 👌 Analysts, Engineers and Data Scientists alike - you need to be able to demonstrate the commercial value you are creating through your work, at all times. 🎯 If you’re finding you’re simply delivering to a request or brief, with no contextual understanding as to WHY, you must seek to better understand the value of the work you’re doing. This is the consistent theme I’m finding when talking to hiring managers .. ‘bring me people who are able to articulate the part they play in achieving strategic business goals’ … those that cannot do this in the modern data market, may get left behind. Get ahead! 👊 #datasciencehiring #datajobs #datahiring
Yes! I was just talking about this recently too. More data people need to understand and sell their use within the business, particularly to departments like marketing where there is a measurable ROI to the work.

7moI agree. However…non-data stakeholders also need to start asking better business questions. Not: “find me some insights” Not: “how do I grow revenue”? Not: “how do I reduce cost”? WAY too generic. You can grow revenue/reduce cost by hiring, firing, launching new products/services, M&A etc… So where do you even start… With questions like that organisations often end up doing… nothing. And that’s how data is seen as a cost, a commodity or a nice to have but not as a strategic asset. So business stakeholders, let’s refine business questions (data people can also help with that btw) be specific and we will be there with value and LOTS of it ❤️📊
