Data touches nearly every aspect of our lives, from the movies that we enjoy, to how we get to work each day. Companies like Amazon and Google have leveraged data to maximize their profits, while nonprofits and NGOs have languished in leveraging the same techniques to maximize their impact. In this session, Jake Porway, ex-NYTimes R&D Lab data scientist and Founder/ED of DataKind, will explore how to:
· Scope & design data science projects for-impact vs. for-profit
· Identify a data problem, assess staff capacities to address it
· Define & measure success in these deployments
