A working knowledge of some basic stats, access to some decent tooling, a good working knowledge of what the organization is trying to accomplish and the ability to persuade and lead based on findings will likely move the revenue needle much more for most companies than a pure "data science" role.
The trouble is of course we don't have a good name for that role, so it's all "data science".

- deong 9y agoMost managers fail in the "knowledge of basic stats" and "access to decent tools" areas. And if they have the knowledge, most larger organizations don't have a ton of managers sitting around writing python code during the day. Their day is full of meetings.
