Abstract

On a day-to-day level, we can’t assume that people will adopt our ideas or implement our projects—even if they asked for them! They also need to sometimes be reminded that we are there, and that data science is there also, ready to solve their problems. This chapter presents methods to promote your ability to solve people’s problems without going over the top.
