Episode description

Hugo speaks with Taras Gorishnyy, a Senior Analytics Manager at McKinsey and Head of Data Science at QuantumBlack, a McKinsey company. They discuss

• the role of data science in management consulting,
• what it takes to change organizations through data science,
• how the different moving parts of data science have evolved over the past decade and in which direction they’re heading.

You’ll see the impact that data science can have not only in tech, but also in such various verticals as retail, agriculture and the penal system. Taras will also take us through the 5 steps required to change organizations through data science, all of which are necessary. Can you guess what they are?

We're really excited to have Taras on the show as DataCamp has had a long relationship with McKinsey, including that McKinsey uses DataCamp for training.
