Become a Citizen Data Scientist and Redefine Your Career
Explore, Discover and become Citizen Data Scientist
Citizen Data Scientists are not business analysts or data scientists. They are business users just like you! The ideal Citizen Data Scientist is a team member who is respected within the organization, one who shares data and information to collaborate and to produce outcomes designed to achieve goals and objectives. Citizen Data Scientists may be ‘power users’ of business applications and may have developed and reported or presented data to others to support fact-based decision-making. No matter your role within the organization, you can combine your industry, functional or market knowledge with data analytics to improve results, increase your visibility and career advancement within your enterprise and support organizational results.
Citizen Data Scientists Defined
Gartner defines a citizen data scientist as ‘a person who creates or generates models that use advanced diagnostic analytics or predictive and prescriptive capabilities, but whose primary job function is outside the field of statistics and analytics.’
Gartner includes numerous Citizen Data Scientist predictions in its research, stating that, in the future…
- ‘The number of Citizen Data Scientists will grow five times faster than the number of expert data scientists.’
- ‘Scarcity of data scientists will no longer hinder the adoption of data science and machine learning in organizations.’
