People in companies typically make hundreds of decisions every day; some of them have long-term implications. But big data and smart technology are changing the process of decision-making. This three-day programme will teach you new ways of thinking to keep your decision-making relevant.
This course is offered by Rotterdam School of Management b.v.. For more information about the legal structure of Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University, visit this page.
This programme, offered by RSM Executive Education, focuses on managerial thinking and reasoning that uses recent developments in big data and artificial intelligence (AI). You will learn decision-making skills that will help you focus on your markets, make strategic progress, and influence consumers. Over three days, we cover best principles for managerial decision-making – thinking about big data and thinking with big data – as well as rational and irrational human behaviour with regard to product information and prices, and the social aspects of decision-making.
The highly interactive lectures are mixed with exercises, role plays, and case studies. Assignments will be conducted in small groups. These study methods will help you apply new knowledge, and address the needs of your organisation straight away.
During the Leading with Decision-Driven Analytics Programme you will learn from Dr Bart de Langhe and Dr Gabriele Paolacci. Occasionally we may substitute other faculty members according to the content of the programme and their availability.
