The Perfect Data Science Stakeholder by Stacy Lansey Visit https://rstats.ai/nyr/ to learn more. Abstract: The perfect data science stakeholder is the one you already have - different types of business stakeholders just require different strategies. In this talk I’ll focus on skeptical stakeholders or stakeholders that are just “not math people”. Before tackling their data questions head on you first need to spend some time building their trust and confidence. To do this I’ve successfully borrowed strategies from television makeover shows and successfully transformed stakeholders and their workflows. Rather than fixing people's hair or teaching them to cook, I help people fix their data and teach them how to cook up data-driven solutions.
