- Expertise in advanced analysis of
complex datasets
- Diverse skills in statistics databases
and development
- Use specialist tools and frameworks
such as R, Python and Hadoop.
Data junkies
- Happy with numbers
- Spend time building complex
spreadsheets
- Want to drive their decisions using data,
but often don’t have the time and tools
to put ambitions into practice.
Data neutrals
- Majority in most organisations
- Will work with numbers when needed
- Put off by tables of numbers
- Don’t have skills or confidence to
analyse data.
Data phobes
- Scared by numbers
