From MIT Sloan | THINKING FORWARD
|
|
- Data engineers collect and manage data, and manage storage of the data. Their work is the foundation of a data operation as they take large amounts of raw data and prepare it for others to use in making business decisions.
- Data scientists figure out what to do with that data, using artificial intelligence and machine learning to drive analytics and derive insights. While research and data scientists traditionally had PhDs, that is no longer a requirement of the job, said Michelle Li, program director of MIT Sloan’s Master of Business Analytics program, who said MBAn graduates often get data jobs with “scientist” in the title.
- Data translators serve as a bridge to traditional business operations, translating the insights gained from analytics into actions the companies can take to gain value.
Knowledge engineers, ontologists, and other emerging roles seek to take the outcomes of analytics findings and combine those with information from inside and outside the company to formulate actionable answers to business questions.

Digital Transformation Comes Down to Talent in 4 Key Areas
|
|
Over the years we’ve participated in, advised on, or studied hundreds of digital transformations. In doing so, we’ve gained a perspective on just how difficult true digital transformation really is and what it takes to succeed. Digital transformation is not for the faint of heart — the unfortunate reality is that, to date, many such efforts, like
transformation programs in general
, have failed.

As I’m sure you can imagine, it has been quite a challenge to plan this event during the global pandemic. Nothing is more rewarding than all our sponsors having decided to sponsor the event virtually. That speaks volumes. We extend a big, heartfelt ‘thank you’ to our valued sponsors.
