Benefits of Data Science

Learn why data science provides such incredible value.

Data Science Company

Data science helps your organization optimize its processes, decision making, and strategy. It is a high level concept that follows basic scientific principals to answer questions from data.

Machine learning, reinforcement learning and data analytics are tools used by data scientists to help automate a process, decision, or strategy, but often data science is a first step to validate that the solution is sane.

Automate Decisions

All businesses have to make decisions. Businesses are in fact information machines. Those that can consume, understand and act upon the best information in an optimal way have an inherent advantage over their competitors.

One of the simplest and most effective data science projects that businesses can undertake is to automate parts of the business that consume and act upon big data.

The benefit of a data science solution is that we can improve the consistency and the accuracy of these decisions with advanced analytics, whilst at the same time saving a considerable amount of time.

And by moving these predictive models into a production environment we can remove the manual effort that was previously required to make the decision.

Simplify Processes

Processes go hand in hand with business. On the one hand, processes are necessary to standardise practises. But quickly processes begin to eat away at a business' agility and significant sums are spent on employing people to act out these processes.

There is another way. Data science can be used to encoded this processes in a model that can be repeated over and over again all without human intervention.

The time savings can be huge. But more importantly this allows your business to pick and choose when and how these data-oriented solutions are applied. This means that you can still be agile, applying bespoke processes as and when they are warranted. But still maintain the stability of a process driven business.

Competitive Differentiators

Truly innovative companies are able to build data-driven products that provide a competitive advantage so incredible that all competition becomes obsolete.

Interestingly, these products might not be user visible. For example, manufacturers can automate quality assurance to maximize production speed. And the result of this isn’t directly visible to the end user. But the speed at which manufacturing can take place causes competitors to struggle to reduce costs and remain lean.

Many of these types of products are so called “expert systems”. These systems try to do one thing very well, which is well suited to data science and cloud native software. This also means that these types of products are very domain specific. But lessons from other industries can be utilized anywhere.

About Us

Winder.AI is a data science consulting firm based in the UK, although we operate globally. Our band of AI consultants have grown organically out of friendship and common engineering philosophies. Each have fascinating origin stories and our diversity, flexibility, and experience sets us apart from other consultancies.

Our Approach to Data Science Consulting

Successful consulting arises from decades of experience. Take a look at our tips for a successful data science consulting project.

Data Science Consulting Process

1. Business Context

Any problem demands context from the business. A solution for one industry may not be applicable to another, nor is every business the same. Establishing shared context helps get the project off to the right start.

2. Stakeholder Inclusion

More than just identification, we find projects are optimal when key stakeholders are including in the project. With “skin in the game”, stakeholders are far more likely to collaborate to produce a better overall solution.

3. Problem Definition

A key phase where business problems are defined and prioritized. It is worth spending time to get this right, as subsequent effort could be ineffective and wasted.

4. Domain Knowledge Transfer

Businesses are often experts in their own domain. This domain expertise is valuable to help direct future solutions.

5. Data Analysis

Any data science consulting involves a limited amount of actual data science. In this phase expert data analysts extract knowledge from the data. This often leverages actionable insight.

6. Research and Validation

Following analysis, some time is often spent validating results or confirming value.

7. Ethical/Legal/Safety Analysis

Any work that arises from the consulting should be de-risked in terms of ethical concerns, legal ramifications, or safety risks. This step depends on the industry, the domain, and the context of the problem.

8. Strategic Solution

A solution is presented back to key stakeholders. In many projects we then move into an implementation phase. Other times we step back and perform another iteration to find a better problem and improve your data strategy.

Optimizing for Value Generation

Businesses have three core operational functions. Processes define how businesses run. Decisions decide when businesses are run. Strategies define why businesses are run.

Software has successfully automated many business processes. Data science automates decisions and strategies via machine learning and reinforcement learning, respectively.

By leveraging our data science consulting services we can help you automate the top two most valuable tiers in the pyramid, to make your organization more efficient and profitable.

Continuous Innovation

The infamous OODA loop, originally developed by the US military, is of particular use during our work because it helps promote innovation.

At every phase we look for opportunities to add value and make your products and services better. Our clients find that our work greatly exceeds their expectations due to the extra value presented by our solutions.

Selected Case Studies
