Ask HN: How to find business problems to solve as a data scientist?
2 by stevofolife | 0 comments on Hacker News.
To provide some context: Our entire data scientist team is about to join our parent company. In anticipation, how can we determine a business problem to solve given that 1) we don't want to do the dirty work for other data science teams or steal their work, and 2) there is no clear mandates being passed down to us from the higher up. Obvious processes to go through include talking to all the data science team and learn more about their work and future pipeline, speaking with the business folks if possible to understand their needs. But is there something else that we can do that hasn't been listed yet?
