Translating Data into a Shared Language

Being a talented data scientist who can program in multiple languages and analyze massive data sets is not always enough to get your work recognized by decision-makers. Often, we focus on building impressive visualizations and models only to find our audience confused about what we need them to learn, or act on, from our data. During my talk, I'll focus on the essential skill of being a data translator - the person who can take the intricate work of data science and interpret that for the average person. The most impressive data analysis is useless without communicating essential takeaways and offering up persuasive recommendations clearly. Thoughtfully interpreted data and analysis, expressed in a common language, opens the conversation up to far more stakeholders - and makes your work and recommendations accessible to a much broader audience.
