2. We have complemented their skills with off- and on-the-job teaching - #2

    On-the-job (over 2 years)

    Scientific advisors
    • Professor for Data Science (University of Geneva) and the FSO’s deputy head of
      methods have accompanied/supervised the five pilot projects and validate the results
      from the scientific point of view.

    Team of “Data Scientists”
    • Key idea is to share/transfer the skills and the knowledge inside the FSO Organization.
    • Trying to avoid an organizational split between “traditional statisticians” and “modern
      statisticians or data scientists”.

What are our experiences ? - #1

    Hard skills
    • Math & statistical skill, Technical skill and subject matter can be learned. These skills are
      not always easy to acquire but it seems not to be the hard part of the game!
     Up to 2020 we will integrate a standard curriculum “Data Scientist” in our internal teaching
      program. We will collaborate more with Universities to define the exact content.

    Soft Skills
    • Soft skills (e.g. collaboration, creativity, problem solving, communication, story telling)
      need a change in the mindset of all employees.
     These skills are not so easy to teach… they primary need to be practiced on a daily basis
     Up to 2020 we will open a new mandatory curriculum “Agile Organization”.

What are our experiences ? - #2

    Academic curricula
    • Swiss Universities offer standards curricula in data science. The content of these curricula
      often does not match with the FSO’s expectations.
     FSO does not really need “Supermen or Superwomen” that can cover all the production
      process on his own.

    National Statistical Institute as employer
    • Recruiting Data Scientist for a NSI likes FSO is not easy. Salaries are not so attractive
      and the tasks that we can offer to a young data scientist do not offer the expected variety
      and freedom that they are looking for.
     FSO wants to empower its employees and not to replace them with Data Scientist!

Version 2.0 of our Data Innovation Strategy
The FSO is currently defining a version 2.0 of its data innovation strategy for the years 2020
- 2023. The creation of an official Data Innovation Lab and a Competence Center for Data
Science will (probably) be at the heart of the new strategy.
