Analytics Connector: A Common Factor for Analytics and AI Initiative Success
For forward-looking organizations, advanced analytics and artificial intelligence initiatives are becoming a competitive imperative. Yet, McKinsey recently reported that:
“despite the promise of advanced analytics and artificial intelligence, only 8% of firms engage in core practices that support their widespread adoption.”
Successful analytics and AI initiatives share at least one common factor: they were driven by someone linking the technical expertise of data scientists and data engineers to domain and operational expertise embedded in the business.
Business leaders and analytics technologists need to be able speak each other’s language to ensure that analytics and AI projects are successful. Analytics Connectors help ensure that the deep insights generated through sophisticated analytics translate into impact at scale in an organization. Analytics Connectors translate business problems into data science projects and lead the effort to quantify the various risks and rewards to drive and prioritize these projects within the business.

They are responsible for specialized work, calling for strong business acumen, adequate technical knowledge, and project management and delivery expertise. They must be skilled at the following capabilities:
