Data science management means the data-driven restructuring and implementation of corporate processes and new business models. Data science is a must for many companies - the question is not "if?", but "how?".
Business models based on data science technologies are disruptive. They are changing companies, markets and practical applications of information management. Concepts such as predictive intelligence are emerging alongside traditional business intelligence approaches. The IT strategy, which was previously successively derived from the business strategy, is thus becoming a "digital business strategy" and must be transferred into tailor-made projects.
In this certificate course, you will learn how to classify current trends in digitalization and data science in your own business context. You will apply the methods and tools presented for developing new processes and business models as well as for managing data science projects directly to individual issues.

On successful completion of the course, you will be able to

• Classify concepts of IT management in the context of current developments and derive impulses for practical implementation from this.
• Recognize the importance of reference models of information management and be able to adapt them to the operational context.
• Classify current trends such as digitalization and data science in their own operational context
• Develop solutions for a digital strategy in a practical use case.
• Understand data science as a tool of digitalization and recognize areas of application in their own company context and, if necessary, develop scenarios for its use.
• apply data science concepts in their own projects.

• Increased knowledge and skills with regard to current scientific findings and methods in the context of data science.
• The content is highly relevant to practice and can be used professionally.
• You will benefit from university teachers / lecturers with practical experience.
• An online learning platform provides you with a wide range of learning materials to combine classroom teaching with self-study phases.
