ML240: Keith McCormick (Data Scientist/Leader)

Machine Learning, AI, and analytics applications are expanding rapidly, including in traditional businesses that are not all equally prepared for the change. Keith McCormick has produced machine learning solutions for 25 years. In the past eight years, Keith has focused on mentoring analytics leaders and their executives to navigate this change and making their analytics teams more productive.

A new generation of data scientists is graduating from thousands of college degree and certificate programs, hundreds of which didn’t exist just five years ago. Who will lead them? In the short term, they will be led by business leaders that are trained in other disciplines. In the medium term, some of these young data scientists will have to become leaders themselves. With everyone’s focus squarely on technology and not on people, too few are asking the critical questions of how to mature this field and put structures into place that will allow these new teams to thrive and create value for their organizations.

Drawing upon decades of building these machine learning solutions, it’s Keith’s job to remind his clients that machine learning solutions are ultimately there to create positive change with their organizations, using math to solve people problems. A typical client is a senior manager or VP of analytics. Working together, Keith and his clients hire the team members, train them to stay focused on organizational change, and educate their senior leadership on deriving the optimal value out of their efforts.
