Why this course?
This course addresses one of the most important factors that drives successful business outcomes from your investments in Big Data and Analytics
Strategic Leadership. Well designed and implemented technologies alone are no guarantee of successful Big Data and Analytics outcomes.
- Only with the right strategic leadership capabilities can your organisation achieve sustained competitive advantage in an increasingly data-driven world where privacy and information security underpins customer trust in your organization.
- A critical success factor for recognising and fully exploiting the value drivers of your Big Data and Analytics initiatives are in ensuring that your business leadership skills and competencies across the entire organisation are up to the task. This requires cultural change and skill-building while also ensuring your IT teams are playing their part in driving successful business outcomes.
While Big Data depends on IT, success requires change in organization design, leadership and culture. How you manage this change determines the success.
