NOTES & INSIGHTS

Community Special Interest Group – Gartner

Research supports the GMI design of Centralized Data Science + function-based analytics teams aligned to the
business units.
Colby McCullough - SC Johnson
Aligning Data and Analytics teams to the business
Consumer, Sales & Marketing teams
SC Team
Finding it difficult to build bench strength because folks don’t want to move
Working on building a career path to develop them…not just into IT…how to get them into Ops.
“At SCJ we don't have the types of "Coaches" you reference but we do enable some lower-level analytics
users in the Regions/Businesses that are allowed to do light development but also act like "Coaches".
They can't access our Data Lake Directly but can do some "light" development and also train the business”

Paul Solomon - Kellanova


“Our most successful recruitment efforts have been finding business resources with an intellectual
curiosity and technical acumen to transition to an analytics role that can solve business problems.”
Challenge is how to develop cross-over capabilities…business gains technical and v.v.

John Coyle - Gartner


Building analytics coaches to help with skill building, translation
Work towards Citizen Data Scientists…blurr the line between business analytics and data science

Jeff Watts
“Coaches are how you turn puppies into hunting dogs”
“There are people who can write maps and people who can follow them…not normally the same person,
but both equally valuable and equally needed for collective success.”
“YES - turn their analytical mindset to trying to understand (analytically) what they are hearing when they
talk to the business side... it lets them listen in a manner that aligns to how they think ...and get smart in a
new area vs where they are already strong”
“This is the core of effective software development ... a strong level of central shared infrastructure
without compromising local flexibility - its not only a key mindset you have to build - but- its really hard to
actually design and write this code do it”

Monica Conybear – Huber


Small analytics team
Working on how teams gather requirements…strategic relevance. How to dig into the deeper why
Focused on storytelling

Brenda Remy – Bristol Meyers Squibb


“SC is just a big math problem”
Business strategy to analytics application to solution
Anchor tools to current business process vs. “hanging” out there…example: S&OP
(Remy has the S&OP process under her)

Tiffany Cavallaro - Amgen
