Abstract: A business method and the dBIRD software solution enables success through collaboration and data competency resulting in project-ready blueprints, an input synthesizer, and an embedded conversational chat bot. The project-ready blueprints ensure rigor and standards and result in activating cognitive thinking while enabling collaboration within the business team. The input synthesizer develops business insights, facilitates accountability, and ensures accessibility to model reports. The embedded conversational chatbot engages interdisciplinary teams, results in the transfer of knowledge amongst the team, creates analytics translators, and ensures role-specific coaching. The Chatbot is embedded within the system and provides guidance about methodology, roles, research questions, data science terminology on as-needed basis.
