Data and the data science team – 2022’s chicken vs egg

Which comes first, the data or the data science team? The value of data is fairly incontrovertible today and businesses have increasingly large volumes to contend with.

However, while the news feels overwhelmingly bleak right now, there is also positive momentum – often being achieved with AI and data.

The momentum behind the use of data and AI across an expanded spectrum of industries and events continues to build, with a focus on the sports and wellness sectors in the coming months.

The new year is now well under way – the Christmas lights are down, the New Year champagne bottles are being recycled and we’ve even navigated the annual joy that is Blue Monday.

While you may not be entirely convinced of your ability to resolve to qualify for the next Olympics, or run for office in 2022, when it comes to what you do with your data, – especially if you have the right support – this is something you can be sure of. If the purpose of resolutions is to review how you did this year and find ways to upgrade that in the next, setting data new year’s resolutions makes a lot of sense. Not just because there is so much opportunity to use data to drive productivity, profitability and growth but also because you risk getting left behind if you’re not being proactive.
