Enable Citizen Data Scientists with AI and Low-Code, No-Code Analytics

AI-Assisted and Low-Code/No-Code BI Tools Enable Citizen Data Scientists

According to a recent Gartner Survey, 80% of executives believe that automation can be used for any business decision. As businesses pivot to focus more on data and less on opinion or gut feelings, it is more important than ever for the average team member to have a basic understanding of data analytics and to use data to make day-to-day decisions, team collaboration and presentation of recommendations and suggestions to the management team.

Hence, the rise of Citizen Data Scientists. Over the past decade, the Citizen Data Scientist approach has become institutionalized, and is now popular in small, medium and large-sized organizations.

‘By combining domain, market and professional knowledge with AI-enabled insight, models and charts, the business can leverage career experience and knowledge with data analytics to produce informed strategies.’

Citizen Data Scientists do not need formal data science training in order to make use of data analytics. They simply need accessible, self-serve tools, designed to provide sophisticated results for decision-making, and to reduce dependency on data scientists, business analysts and IT staff.

As companies shift to the Citizen Data Scientist approach, and focus on data democratization and data literacy, the rise of artificial intelligence (AI) and low-code, no-code development tools provides strong support for the transition. Improved accessibility and ease-of-use provide numerous benefits:

  • Improved team collaboration and clear data interpretation
  • Affordable analytics tools
  • Rapid, accurate decision-making
  • Reduced reliance on data scientists and other data professionals
  • Flexibility and scalability to support numerous roles and responsibilities

Businesses can gain valuable insight into marketing segments and target customer groups to optimize marketing campaigns. Financial professionals can use AI and low-code, no-code enabled augmented analytics and business intelligence (BI) to predict, forecast and identify the root cause of issues and challenges. Human Resource professionals can analyze training effectiveness, staff attrition, benefits, and compensation, etc. Product managers can analyze pricing, supply and feature issues and opportunities.

Today’s Augmented Analytics Gives Citizen Data Scientists an AI-Enabled, Low-Code/No-Code Foundation

Self-serve, AI-enabled tools, and low-code, no-code platforms allow the business to quickly respond to market and organizational changes and add new features and functionality, so the Citizen Data Scientist community can evolve organically as roles and responsibilities change and as the enterprise changes.

As business intelligence (BI) and augmented analytics solutions evolve, Citizen Data Scientists find new ways to collaborate, create reports and formats to share and gain insight using dashboards, visualization, drag and drop and deep dive interfaces to identify patterns, trends, issues and opportunities and to share results across teams, departments and divisions.

In this brave new world of self-serve data analytics, businesses must ensure a solid foundation of data governance, and a common language for training and usage to ensure appropriate use of the tools and ensure data quality. By combining domain, market and professional knowledge with AI-enabled insight, models and charts, the business can leverage career experience and knowledge with data analytics to produce informed strategies.
