What is data science and how can data science consulting help my business or organization?

Data science refers to the use of statistics, analytics software, and machine learning to understand, explain, and predict a wide variety of variables in numerous domains in business and life.

Originating in the biomedical sciences and refined over time, data science has started to become commonplace for organizations and businesses of all sizes during the past decade. A strong data science program—either internal or via an independent consultant—can have many benefits for any organization.

First, data science can identify patterns in current customer and company data, for example, which types of people are most likely to purchase a certain product or service.

Second, data science can provide insights into future customer acquisition, for example, by analyzing and tailoring marketing and communication strategies to best identify, engage with, and retain customers.

Third, data science can visualize simple and complex data of all sizes with static and dynamic graphics, including web-based interactive visualizations and dashboards to display and update data in real time from all kinds of sources.

Data science consulting is especially important for smaller businesses, as they often have lots of types of data that they might not even know about!

Even seemingly simple metrics can be included in analytic models, like the number of customers per hour, sales volume at certain times of the day, count of newsletter signups, social media followers, or product rankings by popularity.

What are some concerns with just using automated AI-controlled data science help my business or organization?

Given the recent and rapid rise in AI across the world, some people ask us why they can’t use ask an AI Chatbot or AI Digital Assistant about their data science needs, business consulting requirements, graphical visualizations, or recommendations for areas to improve and enhance.

Our answer is twofold: 1) releasing all of your data to an AI program from a huge corporation can have privacy and ethical concerns, especially given Terms and Conditions that can give these companies full access to and use of your data for many purposes, and 2) we truly believe that your business or organization is too important to trust to an AI Chatbot to provide understandable insights, which is why we believe that real people on our expert team can provide real insights that no computer will even be able to match.
