A Book Worth Reading.

Data science is expanding across industries at a rapid pace, and the companies first to adopt best practices will gain a significant advantage. To reap the benefits, decision makers need to have a confident understanding of data science and its application in their organization. It is easy for novices to the subject to feel paralyzed by intimidating buzzwords, but what many don’t realize is that data science is in fact quite multidisciplinary―useful in the hands of business analysts, communications strategists, designers, and more.

One of our International Association for Data Quality, Governance and Analytics Advisory Board Members – Dr. Stylianos Kampakis has written an excellent book on this subject. With the second edition of “The Decision Maker’s Handbook to Data Science”, you will learn how to think like a veteran data scientist and approach solutions to business problems in an entirely new way. Author Dr. Stylianos Kampakis provides you with the expertise and tools required to develop a solid data strategy that is continuously effective. Ethics and legal issues surrounding data collection and algorithmic bias are some common pitfalls that Dr. Kampakis helps you avoid, while guiding you on the path to build a thriving data science culture at your organization. This updated and revised second edition, includes plenty of case studies, tools for project assessment, and expanded content for hiring and managing data scientists"

We highly recommend his book.
