Abstract:
|
The stereotypical statistician used to be the geeky guy in the back office working by himself for many months on problems that others may or may not care about. It's exciting for our profession that those days are over. The response we get from others is no longer "I had statistics in college and I hated it." It's now "How can I learn more?"
This enthusiasm of the masses is exciting for us, but, at the same time, it does present new challenges for analytical teams in hiring, training, equipping, managing and retaining the magical creatures that are statisticians and data scientists. How do we build teams when the talent gap is so large? How do we enable the teams to truly impact the business? How do we develop and challenge our team so that they are with us for a long time? We will discuss these questions in more detail and give suggestions that you can take back to your own organization.
