Data Science Toolkit

Save time, empower your teams and effectively upgrade your processes with access to this practical Data Science Toolkit and guide. Address common challenges with best-practice templates, step-by-step work plans and maturity diagnostics for any Data Science related project.



Download the Toolkit and in Three Steps you will be guided from idea to implementation results.



The Toolkit contains the following practical and powerful enablers with new and updated Data Science specific requirements:



STEP 1: Get your bearings



Start with...




• The latest quick edition of the Data Science Self Assessment book in PDF containing 49 requirements to perform a quickscan, get an overview and share with stakeholders.




Organized in a data driven improvement cycle RDMAICS (Recognize, Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control and Sustain), check the…




• Example pre-filled Self-Assessment Excel Dashboard to get familiar with results generation




Then find your goals...



STEP 2: Set concrete goals, tasks, dates and numbers you can track



Featuring 994 new and updated case-based questions, organized into seven core areas of process design, this Self-Assessment will help you identify areas in which Data Science improvements can be made.



Examples; 10 of the 994 standard requirements:




1. How does your financial organization build a data science platform for fraud prevention that supports agility by allowing analysts to build and bring own models?
   
   

2. Do the employees authorized to handle data know when there is an outlier and how to engage the necessary process to adhere to data handling practices?
   
   

3. Is there an established communication channel between your team and your organization who has requested the development of the data solution?
   
   

4. Have you empowered the appropriate legal, privacy and compliance controls to allow for the necessary employees are empowered to acquire data?
   
   

5. What challenges, if any, has your organizations IT/infrastructure team had supporting the data science team/data science-focused individuals?
   
   

6. How can a combination of social network and other customer data be used to forecast customer behaviour in a telecoms environment?
   
   

7. Should big data and data science be a new discipline, or should it be seen as a complementary skill set for other disciplines?
   
   

8. Is your organization intending to pursue cloud-enabled providers, or is there a preference for maintaining data on-premise?
   
   

9. Do you have a centralized team responsible for establishing advanced analytic and modeling standards in your organization?
   
   

10. Is there a requirement for data from the analytics environment to be sent back to the originating applications?
    
    




Complete the self assessment, on your own or with a team in a workshop setting. Use the workbook together with the self assessment requirements spreadsheet:

STEP 3: Implement, Track, follow up and revise strategy



The outcomes of STEP 2, the self assessment, are the inputs for STEP 3; Start and manage Data Science projects with the 62 implementation resources:




• 62 step-by-step Data Science Project Management Form Templates covering over 1500 Data Science project requirements and success criteria:




Examples; 10 of the check box criteria:




1. Lessons Learned: Was there a Data Science project Definition document. Was there a Data Science project Plan. Were they used during the Data Science project?
   
   

2. Cost Baseline: Pcs for your new business. what would the life cycle costs be?
   
   

3. Duration Estimating Worksheet: Will the Data Science project collaborate with the local community and leverage resources?
   
   

4. Probability and Impact Assessment: What are the channels available for distribution to the customer?
   
   

5. Stakeholder Management Plan: What is the process for purchases that arent acceptable (eg damaged goods)?
   
   

6. Project Charter: Environmental stewardship and sustainability considerations: what is the process that will be used to ensure compliance with the environmental stewardship policy?
   
   

7. Procurement Audit: What are your ethical guidelines for public procurement?
   
   

8. Team Member Performance Assessment: How is the timing of assessments organized (e.g., pre/post-test, single point during training, multiple reassessment during training)?
   
   

9. Quality Metrics: How do you communicate results and findings to upper management?
   
   

10. Planning Process Group: Do the partners have sufficient financial capacity to keep up the benefits produced by the programme?

Results



With this Three Step process you will have all the tools you need for any Data Science project with this in-depth Data Science Toolkit.



In using the Toolkit you will be better able to:




• Diagnose Data Science projects, initiatives, organizations, businesses and processes using accepted diagnostic standards and practices

• Implement evidence-based best practice strategies aligned with overall goals

• Integrate recent advances in Data Science and put process design strategies into practice according to best practice guidelines




Defining, designing, creating, and implementing a process to solve a business challenge or meet a business objective is the most valuable role; In EVERY company, organization and department.



Unless you are talking a one-time, single-use project within a business, there should be a process. Whether that process is managed and implemented by humans, AI, or a combination of the two, it needs to be designed by someone with a complex enough perspective to ask the right questions. Someone capable of asking the right questions and step back and say, 'What are we really trying to accomplish here? And is there a different way to look at it?'



This Toolkit empowers people to do just that - whether their title is entrepreneur, manager, consultant, (Vice-)President, CxO etc... - they are the people who rule the future. They are the person who asks the right questions to make Data Science investments work better.



This Data Science All-Inclusive Toolkit enables You to be that person.
