The need to embrace Big Data Strategies is critical and clear. Company leaders today feel the pressure to adapt and transform their organizations in the face of digital disruption. New and old rivals are using Big Data strategies to transform traditional organizations’ value chains, thereby gaining market share, squeezing profit margins and disrupting many industries.

Nevertheless, despite most leaders’ best efforts, and millions of dollars spent in pursuit of disruption through Big Data, the sweet spot of this Big Data disruption is still elusive for many. And even if the “what” is clear, the vast majority of organizational change programs (the “how”) fall short of their intended impact.

This new, hands-on, training course demonstrates a fresh approach for establishing a Big Data strategy and implementing a digital transformation program. With a balanced approach combining a different mindset and a new methodology, this course will help participants gain the knowledge and competencies to save millions of dollars, and years of work, driving digital transformation within their organizations in order to benefit/profit from Big Data.

By the end of the course, participants will be able to:

• Understand what drives the Big Data revolution and how it can create value for their organization
• Apply best practice and lessons learned from leaders in different industries on how to successfully apply Big Data
• Setup their organization for a better digital future by formulating big data digital transformation roadmaps
• Understand the priorities of the first 90-days for a Digital Transformation leader
• Act lean and agile in pursuit of Big Data objectives and drive ideas for new Big Data opportunities

This course is ideal for any member of staff who would be leading big data strategies, implementation or transformation. This may include business leaders, IT, Supply Chain, HR, Finance department staff, or experienced big data professionals looking for the latest insights in Big Data and transformation. This is not a technical course.
