I have spent a considerable amount of time in various organizations as part of their data teams. During this while, I had the opportunity to spend a lot of time with data people [Analytics, Decision Sciences, Analytics Engineers, Data Scientists, Applied Scientists, Machine Learning Engineers, Data Engineers, Data Analysts etc]. I also had the opportunity to work with senior leaders in the technology space and otherwise. Today, while thinking through what makes or breaks an org from being data driven, I thought I would jot down some of the obvious pointers.
