How to Communicate More Effectively as a Data Scientist
What I’ve learned from Effective Training Solutions (ETS) Training
Effective communication skill is a must-have skill for data scientists, but it’s something that is easily overlooked. Lack of this skill can lead to inefficiencies in projects and misinterpretation of actionable insights, which overall can be costly for any company. Our job as data scientists/analysts isn’t just looking at the numbers. We are the people who provide actionable insights and come up with data-driven recommendations. After analyzing the data, we’ll need to interpret the results to the business stakeholders and help them take timely business decisions. As a result, being able to interpret your work to stakeholders and actually put your analysis and recommendation to use is extremely important.
Communication and public speaking skills are the areas I’m still working on improving. Of course, there is always something about ourselves we can improve on. The more we know, the more we realize we don’t know. In this blog, I want to share some tips I’ve learned from the Effective Training Solutions (ETS) training, and how this training has helped me better communicate with stakeholders and colleagues, and hopefully, you will find them helpful too!
