It takes a team
Talented and skilled individuals are better at collaboration. In general, they have a more evolved world view or mature understanding of human nature. They are less possessive of the ideas that they may have generated or those that they may have borrowed in the process of understanding and solving multi-step, interconnected, and interrelated challenges. This is important for several reasons.
First, most challenges that are appropriate for the advanced analytics and AI team to solve are mission-critical, difficult, and wide-ranging, thereby requiring more than one person to develop solutions to them. By nature, the challenges faced by you and your team are best solved by a team, or at least a sub-team, and hence collaboration and communication within the analytics team and between the analytics team and the functional team that has "hired" your team to solve their challenge are required and crucial to the success of the majority of projects.
