Exploring data science opportunities like an astronaut

Humans are curious. And it is curiosity that has helped us to push boundaries and explore space. People stepped into rocket ships, with the sole intent to learn and explore. And those explorations have resulted in now common-day applications such as solar panels on rooftops and water purification systems.
Bol.com believes this mindset can also be applied when exploring data science. We will show you how we use a nomadic team of two Data Scientists to guide teams in their first steps of their data journey. Offering a fresh perspective to a domain and low barriers to start ensure we learn fast. Close collaboration and a clear timebox results in sustainable outcomes. We’ll show the methods we use to do this and what we’ve learned so far in 1.5 years of explorations.
