In response, the importance placed on data collection, management and analysis by organisations of all sizes is increasing all the time as businesses strive to stay competitive in today's market. While the tools and techniques of advanced data science were previously largely confined to professionals with computing or other STEM backgrounds, the democratisation of data science means that business managers of all backgrounds can learn to unlock insights from data.
