How to think like a data scientist

Data scientists look at data differently than normal people by focusing on opportunities in large datasets rather than just headlines. They turn data into information and insights. To think like a data scientist, start with a question about something that interests or bothers you, then identify relevant data sources to help answer your question. Companies should cultivate more data-focused managers since data skills are becoming important. Managers can use data analysis to improve processes, like determining why meetings often start late.
