Summary
In this chapter, we covered a wide range of topics that set the context and provide a constructive corporate environment to begin to build a high-performing advanced analytics and AI team. As the leader of this new team, it is important that you connect with sponsors (executives), stakeholders (management), and subject matter experts (functional staff) and have a positive, collaborative, and cooperative relationship with all those groups.
