Data-Driven Decision-Making

2023-09-01T06:35:11+00:00December 1st, 2019|Tags: Management, C-suite, Business, Non-tech|

The Data-Driven Decision-Making course is for executives and managers who want to leverage analytics to support their most vital decisions and enable better decision-making at the highest levels. It empowers senior executives with skills to make more effective use of data analytics. It covers contexts including strategic decision-making and shows attendees ways to use data to make better decisions. Attendees will learn how to receive, understand and make decisions from a range of analytics methods, including visualisation and dashboards. They will also be taught to work with analysts as effective customers.

Text and Language Analytics

Text analytics is a crucial skill set in nearly all contexts where data science has an impact, whether that be customer analytics, fraud detection, automation or fintech. In this course, you will learn a toolbox of skills and techniques, starting from effective data preparation and stretching right through to advanced modelling with deep-learning and neural-network approaches such as word2vec.

Forecasting and Trend Analysis

2021-03-12T03:57:54+00:00February 12th, 2019|Tags: Expert, Tech|

This course is an intuitive introduction to forecasting and analysis of time-series data. We will review a range of standard forecasting methods, including ARIMA and exponential smoothing, along with standard means of measuring forecast error and benchmarking with naive forecasts, and standard pre-processing/de-trending methods such as differencing and missing value imputation. Other topics will include trend/seasonality/noise decomposition, autocorrelation, visualisation of time series, and forecasting with uncertainty.

Agile Insights

2021-04-13T04:26:47+00:00February 11th, 2019|Tags: Management, C-suite, Business, Non-tech, Expert|

This course presents a process and methods for an agile analytics delivery. Agile Insights reflects the capabilities required by any organisation to develop insights from data and validate potential business value. Content presented describes the process, how it is executed and how it can be deployed as a standard process inside an organisation. The course will also share best practices, highlight potential tripwires to watch out for, as well as roles and resources required.

Understand Blockchain, Smart Contracts and Cryptocurrency

2024-03-14T07:12:30+00:00February 21st, 2019|Tags: Expert, Business, Management, C-suite|

Blockchain is one of the most disruptive and least understood technologies to emerge over the previous decade. This course gives participants an intuitive understanding of blockchain in both public and private contexts, allowing them to distinguish genuine use cases from hype. We explore public crypto-currencies, smart contracts and consortium chains, interspersing theory with case studies from areas such as financial markets, health care, trade finance, and supply chain. The course does not require a technical background.

Quantum Computing

2021-03-12T03:57:56+00:00February 22nd, 2019|Tags: Management, C-suite, Business, Non-tech|

This course is an introduction to the exciting new field of quantum computing, including programming actual quantum computers in the cloud. Quantum computing promises to revolutionise cryptography, machine learning, cyber security, weather forecasting and a host of other mathematical and high-performance computing fields. A practical component will include writing quantum programs and executing them on simulators as well as on actual quantum computers in the cloud.

Advanced Fraud and Anomaly Detection

2021-04-13T04:01:44+00:00February 12th, 2019|Tags: Expert, Tech|

The detection of anomalies is one of the most eclectic and difficult activities in data analysis. This course builds on the basics introduced in the earlier course, and provides more advanced methods including supervised and unsupervised learning, advanced use of Benford’s Law, and more on statistical anomaly detection. Optional topics may include anomalies in time series, deception in text and the use of social network analysis to detect fraud and other undesirable behaviours.

Innovating with Best Practices to Modernise Delivery Architecture and Governance

2021-07-23T01:01:04+00:00May 20th, 2019|Tags: Management, C-suite, Business, Non-tech, Workshop, Stephen Brobst|

Organisations often struggle with the conflicting goals of both delivering production reporting with high reliability while at the same time creating new value propositions from their data assets. Gartner has observed that organizations that focus only on mode one (predictable) deployment of analytics in the construction of reliable, stable, and high-performance capabilities will very often lag the marketplace in delivering competitive insights because the domain is moving too fast for traditional SDLC methodologies. Explorative analytics requires a very different model for identifying analytic opportunities, managing teams, and deploying into production. Rapid progress in the areas of machine learning and artificial intelligence exacerbates the need for bi-modal deployment of analytics. In this workshop we will describe best practices in both architecture and governance necessary to modernise an enterprise to enable participation in the digital economy.
