On this podcast we explore the habits of leaders in the data science field to ask them what they do to improve their personal productivity, work more effectively with people and have a better life.
'Cause we all deserve a better life right?
To build analytics capability you need soft skills as well as the hard ones. At least some of our focus needs to be on the people and how they succeed (and fail) in generating insights AND making them stick.

30: Lori Silverman: not just decisions: Actions!
My guest today is Lori Silverman. Lori is not a data person as such: she specialises in getting organisations to shift. And she has some fascinating things to say around how data stories are told.
Lori and I talk about:
- data science vs decision science
- the future of data and decision-making
- the qualities of an excellent data person (scientist, analyst, whatever)
- strategic thinking.

29: Chris Crook: Targeted curiosity
Chris Crook from Nature Research is my guest today. Nature Research just won a B&T, and the award itself looks quite beautiful, quite casually hanging out with the mags in their foyer.
Listen in to find out about client intimacy, targeted curiosity, the importance of the middle ground role between super-technical and the client: the data translator role.
As usual I had a ball recording this: let me know what you think!
