Data science stakeholder communication is hard. The typical explanation of this is to parody data scientists as “too technical” to communicate with their audiences. But I’ve always found it unsatisfying to believe that “being technical” makes it too challenging to connect with the 0.1% of the population so similar to ourselves that we all happen to work in the same organization.
