Demystify big data and artificial intelligence (AI) and understand the strategic impacts.

A number of studies confirm the value of business intelligence for today’s savvy leaders and executives. With the advent of big data, it is even more important to know how to sift through and interpret a dizzying (and ever-growing) volume of information. Research published by McKinsey in 2014 indicated that businesses that analyze their clients’ data obtain a return on investment that is 131% higher than that of competitors who have yet to take the big data plunge.

Cognizant of these issues, Executive Education HEC Montréal has developed a dynamic course that breaks big data down into bite-size chunks. During this seminar, you will learn how to make the most of recent innovations without the need for budget-busting investments in new technology. You will learn how to select and analyze data in a way that supports your company’s strategic approach and business model.
