Digital Transformation and Data Science
Leading with Big Data and Analytics
This Berkeley Global Course 2020 provided insights into data science and machine learning. It outlined how business leaders make data driven decisions, as well as creating data driven organisations.
The program combined theoretical with interactive parts. One of the main learning objectives was to gain a profound knowledge of the basic techniques of data science, building of data culture and evaluation of machine learning models.
The benefit?
Participants learned how companies and organisations prepare data and use information collected to further strengthen market positions. The course with Prof. Gregory La Blanc also teached how companies can organize themselves around APIs and what it means to be software-centric.
The Berkeley Global Course 2020 was conducted as online course and streamed through an online platform.
