An efficient read on data science

Mr. Kaldero provides a fair amount of background on the field of data science and follows it up with a comprehensive and practical framework to get any business started down the path of leveraging machine intelligence. The case studies at the end are very helpful in cementing the book’s concepts.

Too surface level to be of much use-- but I think I'm the wrong audience. This book is for executives at larger companies that are pivoting into the "digital age". I would have appreciated specifics, not "hire data scientists and then use them."

The framework proposed here seems to be a good start point to implement data science at any company. But I would have preferred that the study cases went a little deeper in technical aspects

Use cases from different industries were especially useful

I found the book to be a great introduction to machine learning. This would be a great starting point for anyone trying to come up to speed on the big picture.
