Let's get started

5 steps to new data skills and new business opportunities

Step_one

STEP ONE

We have an informal chat to discuss your data-related issues. What business problem are you addressing and what data do you need to explore?

Step_two

STEP TWO

If a project seems possible, we invite you to a FREE Discovery Workshop to dig deeper. You explain your problem and our team of data scientists start to explore the issues with you.

Step_three

STEP THREE

If we both agree that a project is feasible, we define the scope together, agree the duration (typically three to six months) and sign a formal contract. There is a cost, but the good news is that our rates are subsidised!

Step_four

STEP FOUR

With the scope agreed, we run a collaborative project. This is led by you, but with our team of data experts helping you to gain insight from your data and find solutions to your business problems.

Step_five

STEP FIVE

We work with you to create meaningful business outcomes for your organisation. We help you to deliver immediate ROI through actionable insight from your data – to create operational efficiencies or ideas for new products and services. Most importantly, we enable your organisation to gain new data skills.

UPSKILL YOUR ORGANISATION

Our team of data experts have an array of technical skills to bring to bear on your project.
We can help you to develop the following skills as we collaborate with you.

We’ll help your team to put their data in order so that it’s useable for this project and others. Firstly, we’ll gather your data together and ensure that the right permissions are in place. Then we’ll structure it to make it easier to manage, clean it to remove errors and inconsistencies and then integrate your multiple data sources together.

RDBMS / SQL
NOSQL

Once the data is fully available, we’ll work with your team to explore it, and, more importantly, show your team how we would approach a data problem. We’ll ‘play’ with the data, doing some initial analysis and visualisation looking for anomalies and patterns.

COMMUNITY DETECTION IN GRAPHS

When we have a clear idea of the insight we’re looking for we’ll show you how to analyse your data. This may require you to acquire new programming or analytical skills, necessary for a deep dive into the meaning hidden in your data.

STATISTICAL MODELLING

LINEAR / HIERARCHICAL MODELLING | TIME SERIES | MODELLING AND DYNAMIC MODELLING | BAYESIAN METHODOLOGY AND PROBABILISTIC PROGRAMMING (STAN, BRMS) | SPATIAL MODELLING | SPATIO-TEMPORAL STATISTICAL MODELLING 

MACHINE LEARNING

NEURAL NETWORKS | DEEP LEARNING | MACHINE VISION | NATURAL LANGUAGE PROCESSING (NLP) | GRAPH EMBEDDINGS | CLASSICAL MACHINE LEARNING E.G. RANDOM FORESTS, BOOSTING, SVM | INTERPRETABLE MACHINE LEARNING | VARIABLE IMPORTANCE VIP | INDIVIDUAL CONDITIONAL EXPECTATION (ICE) | SHAP | PROGRAMMING (PYTHON, R, STAN, JAVASCRIPT, NODE.JS, JAVA, C#, C++, C , PROLOG, RCPP, SCALA, GO, PHP)

Once you have your initial insight you may need to scale up, speed up and/or automate the analytical process you have created. We can help you to apply software engineering and scalable computation to ensure your solution can be utilised to continue to produce results, maintained by your own team.

Gaining insight is one thing, communicating to your management is another. We'll help you understand how best to present information, in your reports and in real-time consoles, so as to maximise the impact of your work.
