Organizational models for data science teams include dedicated teams, embedded scientists, and hybrid models. Key skills for data science teams include both technical abilities and soft skills like communication and problem solving. Challenges to success include executive sponsorship, training, knowledge sharing, understanding business context, and data access. A case study at Comcast developed an automated media planning tool called Pronto by translating a business need into a data science project, testing prototypes with real data, and gaining executive support through proof of concept. Keys to successful deployment included executive buy-in, collaborating across teams, measuring adoption, and focusing initially on critical use cases.
