What are "Business Skills" for Technical People Really?

Writer's picture: Ken JeeKen Jee

We always hear that business skills are important for data scientists to have, but what are they really? Link to Your Free Month From 365 Data Science: https://bit.ly/2YUxsAx In this video I break down what people mean by business skills and I also show you where to learn them!

Ok, so what are business skills for technical people really? I polled my Linkedin Audience to see what some thought leaders in the space thought. Link: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/kenjee...

From my personal experience and research I found that business skills generally fall into a few broad categories: Understanding the business model of your company, Problem definition, Time Management / Project Estimation, Presenting & Conveying information, and Networking.

The places that I learned many of these skills (I still definitely need improvement) are:

1) Books

2) Sitting in on calls and meetings

3) Projects

4) Formal Courses

5) Asking questions to communities on LinkedIn etc.
