When engaging a data scientistic it’s important the company is needing or search for specific answers to issues they face.   A good data scientist will listen and question management to help in honing their analysis onto areas that will be effective in gaining insight into the problem.

Data analysts’ have to work effectively across all business units in organisations and not be restricted to silos. In addition, data analysts ensure business owners are conversant to some level in data science. They provide an understanding of what data analytics will achieve and what processes are taken to achieve outcomes. This, in turn, allows more collaborative work systems that drive outcomes.

Good management will stand above this, given that ultimately the objective is to uncover issues and problems and improve the business.
