About the Course

The evolution of cloud computing capabilities and big data analytics represent big opportunities for organisations and businesses to add unprecedented benefits and efficiencies previously dismissed as impossible. As industries and governments shift paradigms towards higher levels of integration, intelligence, authenticity, and sustainability, effectively exploiting the power of big data collected becomes the need of the hour. One of the strategies to recognise patterns, identify explanatory features’ relationships, test scenarios, and extract innovative insights is big data analytics.

Open data has increased companies and products across public and private sectors. According to the World Bank, a study by the McKinsey Global Institute estimated that open data used in seven sectors of the economy could create $3 trillion to $5 trillion annually in economic value worldwide. For this reason, the programme highlights the “Open Data Strategy” to provide high-value and reusable open data to increase transparency and foster innovation through collaboration, enabling a data-driven economy.

This 5-day interactive Big Data Analytics for Managers training course aims to highlight novel methods that leverage big data and their application to gain actionable insights that garner business value. Additionally, it provides the levels of big data analytics, including operational and advanced techniques towards more proactive, cognitive business models.
