How to Start
Thinking Like a
Data Scientist?
By Thomas C.
Redman

2. But, What’s the urge?
•Slowly but steadily, data
are forcing their way into
every nook and cranny of
every industry, company,
and job.

3. • Managers who
aren’t data savvy,
who can’t conduct
basic analyses,
interpret more
complex ones,
and interact with
data scientists are
already at a
disadvantage.

4. Companies without
a large and
growing cadre of
data-savvy
managers are
similarly
disadvantaged.
One can easily
interpret the need
of “Data-Virtuosos”
in the company.
