Connect business strategy with Data Science & AI
Artificial intelligence (AI) and data analytics are rapidly developing technologies that have a big impact on organizations. By utilizing AI and data, companies are redefining how they create value.
Many of today’s business professionals may not be technology experts, but knowledge of technology is critical to keeping a business competitive. They need to know how to gauge the quality and reliability of AI Models or how to find the best way to connect the ambitions with AI technology and the current culture and level of knowledge within their organization. In this 6-day course you will learn to recognize opportunities where data and AI can create value. You will take steps towards becoming an analytics translator, bridging data analytics/ AI and the business goals.
In this program, knowledge transfer and case-based learning go hand in hand. The program uses an overarching case study in which theory and implementation are connected. By the end of the program, you will not only have gained extensive knowledge about data and AI but also practical guidelines to implement data and AI-related innovations within your own organization.
