Some more interesting reading on building analytics team here.
Actually a lot of the content here is about developing the Analytical Services that the team delivers, which is one of the capabilities in my framework that I’m planning to write a bit more about.
I particularly like this paragraph:
One word of caution: people new to data science frequently look for a “silver bullet,” some magic number around which they can build their entire system. If you find it, fantastic, but few are so lucky. The best organizations look for levers that they can lean on to maximize utility, and then move on to find additional levers that increase the value of their business.
It emphasises, to me, the importance of understanding what services your analytics team are going to do and what value those services deliver.
