Data Science Roadmapping - Unlocking value in Data-Driven Organizations

CIO & COOs, ScienceDirect’s article “Data Science Roadmapping: An Architectural Framework for Facilitating Transformation Towards a Data-Driven Organization” (January 2022) states that “Leveraging data science can enable businesses to exploit data for competitive advantage by generating valuable insights. However, many industries cannot effectively incorporate data science into their business processes, as there is no comprehensive approach that allows strategic planning for organization-wide data science efforts and data assets. Accordingly, this study explores the Data Science Roadmapping (DSR) to guide organizations in aligning their business strategies with data-related, technological, and organizational resources … The results indicate that the framework facilitates DSR initiatives by creating a comprehensive roadmap capturing strategy, data, technology, and organizational perspectives. “

Accordingly, the new Data Science - Career Transformation Guide (2022 v2) includes valuable resources that enable CIOs and COOs you to upskill your teams and adopt a DSR strategy - Salaries (demand and growth), Certifications and Training programs, Publications and Portals along with Professional Communities and Networking forums.
