The Data Scientist's Dilemma: Why Good Models Die Before They Ship | CDO Matters Ep. 99

from CDO Matters Podcast

Data science teams are delivering results — so why do so many projects never make it to production? Malcolm Hawker and Kristen Kehrer, founder of Data Moves Me and former data science leader, dig into the organizational failures behind the disconnect: governance that blocks data access, business stakeholders who hand scientists solutions instead of problems, and why product management may be the missing layer in your data org. They also get into what AI actually means for data science careers, whether junior roles have a future, and how staying relevant now means building things — fast.
