Overview

This course introduces some of the best practical methods and tools for creating business value using big data. It goes above algorithms or logistics into building data literacy, reasoning and analytics capability. This course focuses on your business questions, helping you identify which data could answer these questions, where the data is, how to find the right data from heterogeneous sources, and how to bring the data together, followed by addressing the right analytics models and how to apply them to deliver the right insight for the right stakeholders or decision makers. This course uses simply explanations to illustrate complex concepts such as data science, AI and Blockchain. It focuses on using open source tools to reason what has happened, why it happened, what is the best that could happen, and how you can make it happen.
