1
00:00:00,803 --> 00:00:04,228
Data professionals are so
valuable to their companies.
2
00:00:04,228 --> 00:00:08,668
They determine which data streams are most
important to specific business projects,
3
00:00:08,668 --> 00:00:10,258
challenges and initiatives.
4
00:00:10,258 --> 00:00:15,371
They identify key goals for the future and
they give their organizations the ability
5
00:00:15,371 --> 00:00:20,278
to take meaningful action by reimagining
processes and improving operations.
6
00:00:20,278 --> 00:00:24,660
To do all of this data teams require
individuals with diverse skills,
7
00:00:24,660 --> 00:00:26,379
knowledge and interests.
8
00:00:26,379 --> 00:00:31,033
Therefore there are countless different
data focused roles, responsibilities and
9
00:00:31,033 --> 00:00:35,012
project types which are further
differentiated by the industries and
10
00:00:35,012 --> 00:00:36,572
businesses they support.
11
00:00:36,572 --> 00:00:38,416
Among all of these possibilities,
12
00:00:38,416 --> 00:00:42,875
data careers can be loosely categorized
into two complementary types of work:
13
00:00:42,875 --> 00:00:47,710
technical and strategic. In this
video we will investigate both.
14
00:00:47,710 --> 00:00:52,100
First let's find out about the folks
whose work requires a heavy emphasis on
15
00:00:52,100 --> 00:00:53,278
technical skills.
16
00:00:53,278 --> 00:00:57,343
Some examples of these professionals
are machine learning engineers and
17
00:00:57,343 --> 00:00:58,333
statisticians.
18
00:00:58,333 --> 00:01:03,045
These people provide high effort
solutions to specific problems.
19
00:01:03,045 --> 00:01:07,077
Through their expertise in mathematics,
statistics and computing,
20
00:01:07,077 --> 00:01:11,446
they build models and make predictions.
Using tools such as R and python,
21
00:01:11,446 --> 00:01:15,105
they help their teams extract
value from business data sets.
22
00:01:15,105 --> 00:01:19,647
The result is a solution that
has a direct positive impact.
23
00:01:19,647 --> 00:01:24,638
Another highly technical role is the
expert data analyst whose work involves
24
00:01:24,638 --> 00:01:31,100
exploring vast and complex datasets to identify
directions worth pursuing in the first place.
25
00:01:31,100 --> 00:01:34,209
They ensure that an organization's
data science efforts
26
00:01:34,209 --> 00:01:39,043
are directed as efficiently as possible,
bridging the gap between other technical
27
00:01:39,043 --> 00:01:42,736
data professionals and
the strategic work we'll cover shortly.
28
00:01:42,736 --> 00:01:47,137
Like most technical data professionals,
you'll learn how to acquire scale,
29
00:01:47,137 --> 00:01:49,502
organize structure and manipulate data so
30
00:01:49,502 --> 00:01:52,536
that it's packaged in a way
that others can work with.
31
00:01:52,536 --> 00:01:53,722
In other words,
32
00:01:53,722 --> 00:01:59,662
you'll know how to transform raw data into
something useful for decision making.
33
00:01:59,662 --> 00:02:02,223
Okay, now let's consider
data professionals
34
00:02:02,223 --> 00:02:06,783
on the more strategic side.
These people include business intelligence
35
00:02:06,783 --> 00:02:10,838
professionals and technical
project managers to name a couple.
36
00:02:10,838 --> 00:02:14,937
Strategic data professionals use their
skills to interpret information that
37
00:02:14,937 --> 00:02:19,285
affects an organization's operations,
finance research and development and so
38
00:02:19,285 --> 00:02:19,918
much more.
39
00:02:19,918 --> 00:02:23,435
Their work aligns closely to
the overall business strategy and
40
00:02:23,435 --> 00:02:27,163
involves seeking solutions to
problems through data analytics.
41
00:02:27,163 --> 00:02:27,856
In short,
42
00:02:27,856 --> 00:02:33,332
strategic data professionals maximize
information to guide how a business works.
43
00:02:33,332 --> 00:02:37,840
Sometimes you'll find a company has
roles that blend specialist technical
44
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:42,924
knowledge with strategic data expertise,
often in unusual and very creative ways.
45
00:02:42,924 --> 00:02:47,363
Soon we'll learn more about some of
these opportunities as well as the more
46
00:02:47,363 --> 00:02:50,118
specialized technical and strategic roles.
47
00:02:50,118 --> 00:02:55,089
And of course we'll discover some
proven ways to tap into them as a data
48
00:02:55,089 --> 00:02:56,277
professional.
49
00:02:56,277 --> 00:02:58,451
Lots more to come.4521
