Designed for senior business leaders, this masterclass will offer an engaging exploration of Data Science, from the impact on Business Analytics to the complexities of Machine Learning and the innovation in Generative AI. We will utilize tangible, real-world examples to demystify and explain these complex technologies, offering insights into their capabilities and drawing attention to their limitations.

We will delve into how businesses successfully harness data science to unlock value and the reasons why some falter despite best efforts.

A collaborative brainstorming session will allow participants to discuss data science applications relevant to their organizations.

The masterclass will culminate with the presentation of a robust framework for assessing the technical feasibility of proposed use cases, empowering leaders to drive data science initiatives in their organizations effectively.
