Overview

For organizations of all sizes, data management has shifted from an important competency to a critical differentiator that can determine market winners and losers. Leading organisations are defining new initiatives and examining existing strategies to transform their businesses using Big Data. In the process, they are learning that Big Data is not a single technology, technique or initiative. Rather, it is a thread across many areas of business and technology.

Big Data refers to technologies and initiatives that involve data that is too diverse, fast-changing or massive for conventional technologies, skills and infrastructure to address efficiently. This programme will review the current understanding of Big Data and provides tools that will assist participants to develop and execute a sound Big Data strategy. It also looks at the key components of Big Data analytics, and how ethics and governance must be built into Big Data strategies and analytics.
