As businesses rely increasingly on data to help them become more intelligent enterprises, the roles that involve data skills have become ever more sought-after. I recently attended the annual meeting of the Society for Industrial/Organizational Psychology (SIOP) in Washington, D.C. 

There was a notable number of sessions and tracks this year solely focused on “Data Science” and blending the worlds of Computer Science and Social Science together. Industrial/Organizational Psychologists, the discipline within which I was trained, are taught to leverage research methods and advanced statistics to better understand people at work and leverage those insights to improve workplaces.
