What Great Data Analysts Do — and Why Every Organisation Needs Them by Cassie Kozyrkov via @HarvardBiz

Full stack data scientists and machine learning pros get all the glory. But this Harvard Business Review article argues that instead of asking your analysts to develop machine learning skills (risking mediocrity in two fields rather than excellence in one), your analysts should be encouraged to excel at analysis.

Cassie makes a very good point - do you really want a Jack of all trades who is not great at what they do or do you want an expert in the one thing (analysis) that can produce something that is worth risking your businesses future on?
