Gartner defines a Citizen Data Scientist as 'A person who creates or generates models that leverage Predictive or Prescriptive Analytics but whose primary job function is outside of the field of statistics and analytics.'

The Smarten online workshop allows an enterprise to introduce business users and other team members to the concept of Citizen Data Scientists and to better understand the benefits inherent in this approach to data democratization and data literacy. By creating a culture where data democratization is encouraged and team members have the tools, they need to perform data analytics, the enterprise can improve problem solving, identify all manner of business opportunities, improve data literacy throughout the organization, increase productivity for IT, data scientists and business users, reduce missteps and re-work, improve time to market and competitive advantage and bridge critical skill gaps for data science projects and focus.

The online workshop includes a discussion and definition and profile of Citizen Data Scientists, the benefits of a Citizen Data Scientist program, a look at the analytical roles and processes that support this type of initiative, an in-depth review of analytical techniques and algorithms and examples of business use cases that leverage these types of techniques and a walk through of Smarten assisted predictive modeling tools to illustrate how these tools and techniques can positively impact the Citizen Data Scientist journey.

'The Citizen Data Scientist Journey' workshop consists of modules that will allow the student to work through the course at his or her own pace. At the conclusion of the course, the student will be able to explain the Citizen Data Scientist Concept and its benefits, discuss and use analytical concepts and techniques Including Predictive Analytics Algorithms, leverage Smarten Augmented Analytics Tools, champion the Citizen Data Scientist initiative within the organization and begin the Citizen Data Scientist within her or his organization.
