What Are the Benefits of Augmented Analytics? Where Do I Start?
Those who know me are probably tired of hearing me talk about the benefits of Augmented Analytics. To them, I say, ‘I am sorry’. I am about to talk about it yet again. The reason is simple. Most businesses are either considering the addition of augmented analytics to democratize data, improve data literacy and create Citizen Data Scientists OR they are still unconvinced and feel that they are just fine. Either way, your business professionals and managers can use a primer on the benefits of augmented analytics, whether it is used to support their decision or to convince the team that augmented analytics should be pursued!

When a business engages its team members and asks them to take on the role of Citizen Data Scientist, there can be many misunderstandings regarding the new role. One of the most common misunderstandings relates to who does what in the role of analytics. Some common questions include:
If you are a business manager who wants to enable a Citizen Data Scientist environment, but you find yourself up against resistance, it is often because your business users believe that advanced analytics is just too hard for them to learn and that the use of these types of techniques and systems will slow them down and confuse their otherwise familiar processes.
