Analytics mentoring

Boost the calibre of your data science team by leveraging our deep expertise and decades of industry experience! We work side-by-side with analytics teams on projects, upskilling in state-of-the-art data science and providing key elements of data projects, such as by developing novel, bespoke algorithms in order to address your organisation’s unique data problems.

Analytics coaching and training

Many companies struggle with their first steps into advanced analytics. At Otzma Analytics, we work with you to map the data landscape of your business, uncover where and how to best deploy advanced analytics and Data Science tools, and help you reap the benefits of your unique data assets, whether it is to optimise processes while minimising costs, or to build out new sources of revenue with data-rich products. We provide one-on-one coaching sessions and manager workshops.

Analytics review

Getting advanced analytics right is tricky. Is your data biased? Are your models causal? Are your predictions stable? At Otzma Analytics, we review your in-house analytics work in order to find what your data scientists missed, check the robustness of the machine learning methods your organisation employs and the validity of their conclusions, and give you the peace of mind that all boxes have been ticked.

Otzma Analytics supported us in establishing a strong data science process and assisted in shaping a clear and effective roadmap for our journey. Their true expertise, however, shines in their specialized ability to critically review our work. Michael never hesitated to deeply analyse the artifacts we created, offering insightful and constructive feedback. What stands out is his commitment to honesty and value, placing the quality of our outcomes over any commercial interests.

[Michael, head of Otzma Analytics] helped me gain enormous clarity on how to use machine learning as a strategic objective as well as information and data needs, analytics, and Big Data within the world of Investment Management. He also has great insight into the pitfalls and unintended consequences of managing data science projects. I would recommend Michael for consultancy and training work to help you optimise the business value you gain from data whether it be analytical modelling, data science or using artificial intelligence and more specifically machine learning.
