In a 2018 publication in Harvard Business Review, McKinsey introduced the role of Analytics Translator. The Analytics Translator bridges the gap between data expertise on the one hand and business expertise on the other hand. According to McKinsey, organisations now recognise that the success of analytics in an organisation is not only determined by data scientists, but by cross-functional teams consisting of data engineers, data architects, data visualisation experts, and (perhaps most importantly), Analytics Translators.
