A viral model for scalable adoption of data science in a large financial organization?
A viral model for scalable adoption of data science in a large financial organization?

Abstract: 

The cultural change to adopt Machine learning and data science as a mainstream approach, particularly in a 150 years old organisation with thousands of employees, is massive.

In Santander we have successfully used a biological approach that has allowed us to create critical mass in a natural and effective way. By following an iterative, value driven approach focused on building capabilities as use case are delivered, on creating a platform as patterns are detected and gathering a community as people are involved we are spreading the data science virus throughout the company. We will discuss our model, its advantages and challenges and lessons learned.
