Responsibilities of data analytics

- As a data scientist, it's your responsibility to make sure you're interpreting your data and using your analysis with integrity, that you're not conforming to what someone thinks your data should say. You're representing the data the way in which it should be represented, the most accurate way possible. That's going to look different depending on what your role is. But as a data scientist, it's often tempting to be able to give a quick highlight of a dataset that doesn't really capture the complexities of what's contained within it. It's your job to make sure that the complexities are drawn out and explained so that really quick decision making can happen. But it has to involve a consideration of the full picture. And that shouldn't hurt any of your organization's priorities. It should enhance them.
