Objective

Across industries, routine decisions and competitive strategies increasingly rely on data-driven business intelligence. Unprecedented volumes of rich data can now be analyzed to predict the consequences of alternative courses of action, and guide decision-making. The urgency to utilize data-driven intelligence spans industries, and this program provides an introduction to data-driven business intelligence challenges and tools like data mining and machine-learning techniques. We also discuss how to effectively apply data-driven intelligence to improve decisions, and how to systematically estimate the expected impact on relevant performance objectives.

Benefits

• Understand the landscape of data-driven intelligence tools, the basics of data mining techniques, and their applications in practice.
• Develop a data-analytical approach to problem-solving so as to be able to identify opportunities to derive value from data-driven intelligence.
• Acquire some hands-on experience so as to follow up on ideas or opportunities that present themselves.
• Interact competently on the topic of data-driven business intelligence.
