This is the first in a series about ensuring the success of enterprise AI.
Data science is the “new black” – with businesses across all industries looking for ways to leverage AI and machine learning to segment customers, predict events, automate processes – and improve the bottom line.

But is it effective?
Stated differently: Has data science succeeded in increasing productivity or helping businesses make better strategic decisions? Shockingly, the answer – at present – seems to be a resounding no.
According to Gartner analyst Nick Heudecker‏, as much as 85% of all data science projects fail. That means a mere 15% of projects achieve their goals.
Here at Data Science Group (DSG), we’re witness to the challenge – as, oftentimes, organizations approach us for help only after their independent efforts at integrating AI for enterprise have hit the proverbial brick wall.
