Episode 94: Creating Global Impact with Data Science

from Value Driven Data Science Hosted by Dr Genevieve Hayes

For most data scientists, the idea of impacting the world through your work seems impossible. You may be developing technically brilliant solutions within your organisation, but seeing them become industry standards or influence global decisions feels completely out of reach. In this episode, Prof. Steve Stern joins Dr Genevieve Hayes to share how he transformed a mathematical critique of a cricket scoring system into becoming the custodian of the globally adopted Duckworth-Lewis-Stern method - all from an office in Canberra, Australia. This episode reveals: How a single email response changed everything [05:24] Why principles build trust where mathematics can't [13:19] The "error whack-a-mole" problem that destroys credibility [16:00] The real secret to creating work with impact [30:29] Guest Bio Prof. Steve Stern is a Professor of Data Science at Bond University, and is the official custodian of the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern (DLS) cricket scoring system.
