Visit rstats.ai for information on upcoming conferences.
Abstract: When working in industry data scientists must collaborate with colleagues across many different positions. You need to understand stakeholder needs and communicate results with non-technical teams. While you don't need to share the mathematical details, explaining analyses builds a stronger relationship with stakeholders and helps them to understand the data science process. How do you determine the best way to deliver results? What are some techniques you can use to break down data science techniques and algorithms? This talk will review methods to effectively share data science analysis and why it is important to stay aligned with stakeholders.
