Data science courses always focus on the technical skills required to be a data scientist. This is understandable for the most part, but a data scientist in the "real world" must be able to be a statistician, a scientist, a customer, and a software developer, sometimes in the same meeting!
This is especially true in organisations where data science is a new function, which is (still) most organisations. So what are the other, "soft" skills that we don't talk as much about and can these even be taught? What makes a good vs. bad data science hire?
In this talk we'll explore the other side of the data science “stack” - the skills and techniques that complement your technical knowledge and are at least as important to succeed.
