Udemy – Data Science in a Business Context

What you’ll learn:
Guide development of a Data Science project in a value-oriented way
Learn a framework to tackle Data Science problems in a business context
Define main characteristics of effective, value-oriented Data Scientist
Link standard machine learning metrics to business metrics and strategic KPIs
Become aware of current trends in the Data Science industry
Requirements
For the first two Sections (Section 2 and 3) no requirements! Just desire of becoming a more effective Data Scientist
Python and standard data analysis and data science libraries (pandas, numpy, scikit-learn)
Basic maths and stats
Familiarity of data science fundamentals (train/test, cross validation, linear regression, decision trees)
Description
Welcome to the Data Science in a Business Context course!
In this course I will teach you how to maximise value generation of your Data Science models, which not only will help your organisation (or the organisation you want to work with if you are an aspiring Data Scientist), but also boost your career and make you stand out from the crowd!
Data Science within both small and large organisations is often done in an “academic” way. No one is to blame for this though. On the one hand Data Scientists have often an academic background, lacking the business acumen which a company needs. On the other the Data Science field is a relatively recent one, so that the Data Scientist job is still not well-defined. This results in underdelivering Data Science teams compared to their potential in terms of value generated for the company.
The goal of this course is to mitigate this by helping Data Scientists adopting a business-oriented way of working, which will come with great benefits for the organisation and the Data Scientists themselves and their career progression.
What you will learn
After the course you will be able to:
Understand the current stage of the Data Science field and why it is still a Science yet to be mature
Understand the evolution of the Data Scientist job
Define the characteristics of an effective Data Scientist
Apply a framework to guide the development of a Data Science project in a business- and value-oriented way
Derive a link between a machine learning metric and a business metric
Who is this course for
While the material of this course is primarily meant for more Junior or aspiring Data Scientists, it is suitable for a much large audience
Junior and less experienced Data Scientists will quickly learn how to perform their job in a business context, making the impact with the industry world much smoother and dramatically increasing their probability of success probability and their productivity
Aspiring Data Scientist will understand what is needed from a Data Scientist in a business context, which will prepare them much better to the next interviews
Mid-Senior and Senior Data Scientists will learn to adopt a new perspective during the development phase, which can radically improve their productivity level
Data Science Mangers can find inspiration and material to have their teams work in a uniform way
Requirements
Section 1, 2, 3: no requirements! Just desire of becoming a better Data Scientist
Section 4, 5: basic familiarity with Python, Jupyter notebooks and simple Machine Learning concepts (Linear Regression, Decision Tree, train/test split, cross validation)
Who this course is for
Junior/Mid-Senior Data Scientists
Wannabe Data Scientists with a basic knowledge of Data Science
More Senior Data Scientist and Data Science Managers, looking for working frameworks for their teams
