This three-day workshop focuses on the process of analyzing data so that you can discover what problems data can solve and what successes data can make possible. You’ll also delve into how AI is enhancing data-based decision-making capabilities through automation and predictive analytics. Ultimately, you will leave with a better understanding of how data can inform and support your decisions.
