For data scientists, big data systems and AI-enabled advanced analytics technologies open up new possibilities to help drive better business decision-making. “Like never before, we have access to data, computing power and rapidly evolving tools,” Forrester Research analyst Kjell Carlsson wrote in a July 2017 blog post.

The downside, Carlsson added, is that many organizations “are only just beginning to crack the code on how to unleash this potential.” Often, that isn’t due to a lack of internal data science skills, he said in a June 2018 blog; it’s because companies treat data science as “an artisanal craft” instead of a well-coordinated process that involves analytics teams, IT and business units.
