ENROL NOW

Overview

Data has emerged as a new asset class that is yet to be fully leveraged by businesses to create new value. Consumers and businesses alike create terabytes of data every day that remains largely uncaptured and underutilized due to lack of skills and competencies in harnessing its true value.

Data is a vital input in achieving customer engagement, delivery of exceptional user experience, opportunity discovery, process improvement, decision support and business performance improvement.

Suboptimal data skills or lack thereof, and weak data culture in organizations remain the single largest impediments to the realization of unlocked value in data. As businesses continue to grapple with what decision models to adopt, the need for data science as competence is expected to rise exponentially.
