This course aims to provide a roadmap of the role of new technologies associated with data and information (data science and big data) in the digital transformation of organizations. The course aims to provide the basis to reflect on how information can become a competitive advantage and a source of wealth creation, differentiation, and innovation. The way information has "infiltrated" all the components of the value chain and transforms them on a daily basis is testimony to the importance it already has in business transformation. Its disruptive capacity will condition value creation, and the "monetization" of data will be determinant in all industries. Organizations capable of mobilizing information to leverage their growth will have a significant competitive advantage and will be able to transform the competitive environment of any industry.
I was incredibly surprised with the approach and contents presented. A journey through the value chain and information flow that circulates within organizations. Mapping the competitive advantages and opportunities of information as a differentiating factor. "Overview" of the new challenges of Industry 4.0 with a constant sharing of knowledge and experiences ending unexpectedly with "Design Thinking".
Curso muito interessante que me permitiu clarificar e sistematizar alguns conceitos fundamentais na análise e exploração de dados.
The course is extremely interesting, calling the trainees to get out of their comfort zone, in the reflection on how data can be an essential asset in the development of organizations and their business models.
