ABOUT US

Data Society Group provides the highest quality, instructor-led, industry-tailored data and AI workforce change management and training programs for Fortune 1,000 companies and federal, state, and local governmental organizations. We partner with our clients to educate, equip, and empower their workforces with the skills they need to achieve their goals and expand their impact. We are powering the workforces of the future, from data literacy for all employees to support for data engineers and data scientists to train up on the most complex AI solutions and Machine Learning skills. Our training is practical and tactical—we use real data sets, highly tailored examples, and capstone projects—to tie virtual classroom learning with real-life business problems and drive results for our clients and their employees.

 

OPERATING PRINCIPLES

  1. We are all data people.
    We are all ambassadors of a movement that uses data to drive better decisions and business outcomes, and we live these values every day. We believe there is always a way to use data to explain, enlighten, and make a difference, within our business and beyond.
  2. We seek out diversity of thought, experience, and background.
    We believe differences make us stronger, and we actively seek to build diverse teams. Our unique perspectives and experiences lead to new and innovative ideas, better decision making, and stronger results.
  3. We operate with careful urgency.
    We are what happens when you blend expertise with a bias towards action. We focus on progress over perfection.
  4. We assume good intent.
    We give each other the benefit of the doubt and ask for clarification instead of acting on assumptions. Everyone is still learning, and we make mistakes sometimes. It’s what we do with the learnings that matters most.
  5. With agency comes accountability.
    We trust each other to be honest and give our best. With responsibility comes the accountability to deliver our commitments, act in a responsible manner, and make choices that are in the best interest of each other and our customers.
  6. We strive for excellence.
    Adaptability is our superpower, and we aim to improve each day. We focus on serving our customers and teams well, and are eager for continuous feedback and improvement.
