I gave a talk in conjunction with Big Data Week 2018 in Malaysia to talk about data science skills and development for the energy sector. The conference by DEJ is 7 years running in Malaysia. They are collaborating with ADAX as we gear to drive 4IR (digital transformation). I covered how talent harnessing, embracing the wealth of skills & technology is of paramount importance and demands radical change across all sectors. And the pathway to become a data scientist in the Oil and Gas industry.
