Why Attend

Across all lines of business, sharp and timely data insights are needed to keep an organization competitive in this digital era.  Big data is a change agent that challenges the ways in which organizational leaders have traditionally made decisions. Used effectively, it provides accurate business models and forecasts to support better decision-making across all facets of an organization. This course provides participants with the data literacy they need to remain efficient, effective, and ahead of the curve. Participants will learn why, where and how to generate business value by deploying analytical methodologies. They will gain the knowledge and skills they need to assemble and manage a large-scale big data analytics project. Lastly, participants will get a conceptual introduction to the sophisticated predictive algorithms that are used in data science.

Course Methodology

Participants will be led through a series of hands-on exercises and workshops, where they will have the chance to apply and test the methods and practical approaches that they are learning throughout the course. Students will work to identify areas of their organization that can be improved through big data-driven implementations, and the types of improvements that can be made through these analytical measures. As part of this course, participants will produce an actionable big data plan that can be used as a blueprint for enterprise-wide big data deployments.
