I come from a financial services background and consult for a very specific segment (asset management). Have been very interested in Data Science & Analytics. Would a Masters like (GT OMSA) or courses make sense to break into the space still within the industry? I won’t be coding etc myself on projects, and would have teams to do that, so what’s the best way to be able to develop enough knowledge that let’s me structure and maybe lead a business line in the area?

GT OSMA is all coding heavy. You can succeed as SME in data science world but not as data scientist without coding

SME is what I am looking to be, especially if my objective is to build/push a product offering supported by people who can actually code/program.
