Over the last decade, data has become a business’s most valuable asset. Data driven businesses are using machine learning and analytics to understand buyer trends and behaviours and are leveraging this to reach their goals and increase revenues – but how are businesses interpreting their data and using it for financial gain? Through the power of data science!
WHAT IS DATA SCIENCE?
In a nutshell, data science uses a combination of scientific methods, processes, systems and algorithms in order to extract knowledge and patterns from raw data. These patterns reveal the ‘why’ behind your data and can be used to influence future decision making, predict behaviours and infer meaning from correlating data in a meaningful way.
If your business isn’t data driven yet, you may be wondering why this process is so important. It’s simple – organisations that are harnessing the greatest insights from their data are shaping the industries they operate in.
However, this is often easier said than done, as most businesses don’t have the capacity or specialist skills to use their own data to create opportunities for competitive advantage.
