Kevin Church - Data, Information, Knowledge and Profound Knowledge

Conversations on Applied AI - Stories from Experts in Artificial Intelligence

In this episode, we go deep with the always fascinating and expert in the field of data, Statistics, and Six Sigma Master Black Belt, Kevin Church.
A chemical engineer by training and applied statistician by vocation, Kevin has more than 20 years of experience in the practical application of statistical thinking and the scientific approach to improve business performance. Kevin helps organizations by leading teams on Predictive Analytics, Executive Coaching, and everything in between. He’s spent the past 3 years at United Healthgroup / Optum and has been involved in co-founding and building multiple meetup groups that focus on educating attendees on data science through competitions that help non-profits.
We cover a ton of ground this episode. Everything from where Kevin got his start, how he has been able to continually apply first principals from W. Edward Deming, Six Sigma to dozens of challenges in his career that involve data and touching on the applications of Artificial Intelligence to create profound knowledge and delighting the customer.
