About Data Society

WHO WE ARE:

Data Society provides industry-tailored, high-quality data science training and advisory services for corporations and government agencies with a desire to make data driven decisions. We believe that modern organizations need to be equipped to make data driven decisions that significantly amplify the effects of existing subject matter expertise. These skills result in increased efficiency and more accurate analyses for research and operations. In order for organizations to become more data driven, they must develop a common data vocabulary across leadership, analysts and generalists. They must also empower their managers and technical staff with appropriate data science skills. Data Society solves both of these needs through customized data science workshops and online learning that help organizations stay competitive and accomplish their missions.

OUR VISION:

We are passionate about increasing data literacy on a global scale so that organizations and their employees can be smarter about data. We've seen how data analysis can solve problems and provide insights that lead to better business and policy decisions. We are dedicated to giving others the tools to approach problems strategically and building a community in which we answer the question "How can data science change the world?"​.

OUR SOLUTIONS:

Our expert data scientists and engineers work alongside your teams to make more informed decisions, automate time-consuming manual processes, solve your most complex data challenges, and build data systems to ensure the enduring impact of your work.

OUR TRAINING:

We teach data science in an intuitive, engaging, and applicable way so that you can apply the methods you learn in class right back in the workplace. We provide training through a combination of in-person, virtual, and online instruction with supplemental coaching and support. We don't just provide data science courses - we create communities of professionals who think about data differently.
