Data is a strategic asset nowadays. Everyone agrees with the principle, but we are far away from an effective use of data in business. In order to create value from Big Data and analytics, companies need to transform into Data-Driven Enterprises. HEC Lausanne and EPFL have designed this program to ease this transformation.

• Critically define the role and value of data for companies and design value chains from data to information and insights.
• Demystify Big Data, Data Science, Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, and define innovative data-driven solutions.
• Identify and implement effective practices to manage data as a strategic resource.

The Executive Certificate (CAS) in Data Science & Management is a unique program for executives, developed by HEC Lausanne and EPFL.
