Is the Data Scientist the Weak Link in Data-driven Value Creation? - DataScienceCentral.com

"In the marketplace, dynamics in the job marketplace will evolve, and data-savvy subject matter experts will be paid higher than data scientists." This is what I tell my students as part of my "Big Data MBA" class. I believe that the folks that will benefit the most from data and advanced analytics will be those who master the application of data and analytics to derive and drive new sources of customer, product, service, and operational value.
