Why Attend
This 5-day course is a
combination of the two back-to-back courses: Big Data Principles and Practices
(3 days) and Artificial Intelligence Principles and Practices (2 days).
It provides a discounted, 5-day option to participants who choose to learn
about both topics and their roles in Data Management.
The rise of Big Data has
accelerated the pace of disruption in virtually every industry, creating vast
ambiguity and unease. However, these changes are also creating enormous
opportunities, as the tools to prosper during the age of Big Data disruption
are becoming more accessible and available. To become a disruptor, embracing
Big Data and deep diving into the technology is only a part of the answer. It
needs to be combined with understanding how Big Data can drive value within our
functions, companies, and industries.
Furthermore,
organizations are creating an avalanche of data, and with Artificial
Intelligence (AI) technology we can put that data to work in order to increase
benefits and reduce costs. With modern technology we can use structured and
unstructured data and apply Artificial Intelligence to bring new possibilities
to improve decision making, improve company performance and augment human
capabilities. However, this new field of science comes with new terminologies,
technologies, jobs and organizational processes.
During this course, participants gain a thorough understanding of how Big Data and Artificial
Intelligence are creating new insights that are enabling organizations to
develop better products, to service clients in a more personal manner, and to
make supply chain processes more efficient. Participants also gain insight into
the transformation their organization can go through to become data-driven.
This courses applies a
variety of interactions, ranging from team-work on case studies, to individual
work on applying templates to their own experience, to group discussions about
joint challenges.
