Collaborators in the analytics journey

Let's define the taxonomy and naming of the collaborators that we will discuss and describe in the book and work with on our analytics journey. I will be referring to executives as sponsors, because they typically set the direction and control funding and staffing for their organization.

Also, I will be referring to managers as stakeholders, as they typically own the headcount that is needed to collaborate with the AA&AI COE staff. And finally, I will be referring to the staff members of the operational departments as subject matter experts. The AA&AI COE leadership, data scientists, data engineers, data visualization experts, and others cannot be successful without the full-throated support of sponsors, stakeholders, and subject matter experts. A transparent and trust-based relationship between all parties is crucial to our joint success.
