Book: Data Driven

Data Driven is about how to fit Data Science into your company. It’s strategic rather than tactical.

Has a brief overview of the history of Data Science, including facts like Walmart was the first company to embrace data science starting in the 80s.

One of the most interesting aspects I found was stories from turning LinkedIn into a data driven company, moving from a Data Science org to embedding Data Scientists in teams, but aiming to have 2-3 together (single ones get lonely).

It’s a quick read so if you’re interested in Data Science, especially how it fits in to an organisation, I think it’s worthwhile.
