About Executive Data Science
Executive Data Science is a book sold on Leanpub about assembling and leading a data science organization. It opens with a crash course in data science for readers who have not worked in the field, then covers recruiting and assembling a team, the structure of a data science pipeline and the goals of each stage, and management topics such as onboarding and working with other groups. Later sections address the data analysis process, from asking questions and exploratory analysis through modeling, interpretation and communication.
The book is available in PDF, iPad and Kindle formats, with a printed edition sold separately at Lulu. Pricing is pay-what-you-want: the minimum is free and the suggested price is $19.99. It is written in English and aims at readers taking on leadership of data science work rather than at experienced practitioners seeking deep technical training.
