Abstract

Decision making is one of the most important aspects in order to enhance service delivery to citizens and businesses, gain more profit, and help stakeholders to strategize their business functions. Nowadays, most of the stakeholders make decisions based on the data that is precise, concise, appropriate, and accurate. Even though Big Data Analytic (BDA) tools and software can assist in this matter, skills and competency of the personnel that handle and manage the data is more crucial and important. Thus, the aim of this paper is to identify data scientist skills from global best practices and examine the most important data scientist skills required by Information Technology (IT) personnel. From our findings, we found 44 data scientist skills and the top 5 (five) skills are business, statistic, machine learning, communication, and analysis.
