Course overview

Looking to the past to predict the future

Since the dawn of mankind, we have been obsessed with predicting the future – knowing what’s going to happen next. Now, using historical data and algorithms and harnessing technologies like machine learning, deep learning and neural networks, we’re closer than ever to being able to see the future. Through Predictive Analytics, this process enables more informed business decisions and innovations to futureproof your bottom-line.

What will you do better after the course?

You will develop an understanding of how organisational value is derived through Predictive Analytics and how to institute this within your organisation. You will acquire the skills and knowledge to build an effective business case for the application of Predictive Analytics, and for the creation of a framework for organisational value creation using Predictive Analytic tools and techniques.
