Harvard Business Review agrees adding that 'Data Scientists' will be the 'Rock Stars' of the 21st century. In Australia, they're known as an actuary. They have the skills to dig beneath the rhetoric to find pure, honest insights hidden in business data. Insights which are then used to change businesses, industries and even countries.
