"Danger Zone, Lana!" I would add business communications to the diagram for data scientists working in the corporate world. After transitioning from academic stuff to corporate clients, I noticed I needed to spend more and more time crafting my presentation and inquiry skills. Many times clients don't even know what kind of potential value they may have in their in-house data. They'll then neglect to mention something very valuable, like some data or a difficult problem well suited to data-oriented solutions, because they either consider unimportant or haven't considered it at all. Learning their language allows really opens up to potential of even basic DS/ML techniques.
