Outline:

This is the best of times, when big data and AI are becoming reality. This is also the worst of times, when we are confused and even lost about what to do about business data analysis in actual practice. Big data and AI is not simply about fancy terminology which comes and goes. For successful business data analysis to create value, the most important part is not big data or having sophisticated models, but the business problem itself. How can you correctly identify the business problems most suitable for data value creation? And how can you transform a business problem effectively into a concrete data analytical problem？

During the event, Prof. Wang will share how to address the issues surrounding business analysis, focusing on understanding uncertainty and applying a powerful analytical tool called REGRESSION ANALYTICAL THINKING (RAT). His class will be supported by numerous case studies acquired from his involvement and research in the industry.
