Episode notes
We were joined by Elaine McVey, VP of Data Science at the Looma Project. Communication was a focus in our conversation with Elaine as we discussed improving communication skills as a data scientist, packaging insights to executives, and what people often get wrong when sharing insights with the business.
What are your stakeholders doing today that they should change as a result of your analysis? What will the business impact be of doing so? How can you deliver more value as a data scientist? Focus on communicating the results of your analysis, not the technical details.
Here a few snippets from the conversation:
21:30 – How to approach experimentation and running tests
43:30 – How do you communicate the value of data science to executives
52:40 – Ways to improve your communication skills as a data scientist
57:15 – How to package insights to executives
1:01:03 – What data scientists get wrong when communicating insights
