When Data Science meets Business - J. Kosche and C. Lojewski of Metro Group

We are particularly excited about this talk as it deals with the real-world challenges of data science projects from inception to completion from a business perspective. As Data Scientists it is all too easy to only consider the technical perspective. However, for a Data Scientist to be successful it is often just as important to communicate effectively with decision makers and understand the business case thoroughly. We thus invited Julian and Christoph to share their insights and lessons learned from a recent large-scale data science project carried out at Metro Group.
