A Custom Program for Best-In-Class Enterprises

Case Study

For this Fortune 500 telecommunications company, capturing the value of the organization’s breadth of data has long been a focus. The Data Society client aspired to a company-wide cultural change, based on broad, actionable, and meaningful steps including adopting new programming languages, machine learning techniques, and analytic tools. The organization explored numerous paths to make the most of the abundant data resources – including hiring data scientists, exploring partnerships with universities, and self-paced online courses. While online courses and universities can provide quality training, the company found they were still falling short of their goals.

Working alongside the telecommunications company's Learning & Development team, our instructional designers crafted a data science academy with the following objectives:

• Address specific organizational challenges and close skills gaps.
• Ensure staff of all levels can operate with role-specific understandings of data-centered business principles.
• Build relevant solutions that would inject immediate value into the respective department.
• The program included: Essential Data Preparation, Clustering to Advanced Classification Models, Advanced Text Mining, Deep Learning, and Feature Engineering.
