Ottimizzare le decisioni aziendali attraverso l'analisi predittiva

Applying predictive models to drive business strategy
Predictive AI currently accounts for over 70% of the value generated by the conscious use of artificial intelligence in business processes.
This course explores the key features of predictive AI models, with a focus on machine learning and business forecasting. Participants will gain practical tools to prepare and evaluate data—both small and big data—and to build effective models.
The machine learning module includes real-world use cases such as churn prediction, Next Best Action, and anomaly detection, with applications across different industries.
On the business forecasting side, participants will learn quantitative methods to generate accurate forecasts that support both strategic and operational planning, using time series and statistical models (including univariate and regression-based approaches).
A hands-on journey to turn data into high-impact decisions.

Who should apply
The program is aimed at professionals who work with data on a daily basis across various business functions—even without a technical background—and want to deepen their expertise and learn how to effectively leverage Predictive Artificial Intelligence to implement impactful models in different decision-making areas.
It is also designed for managers and executive profiles who wish to gain a better understanding of data in order to effectively steer the company’s strategic vision and support the transition toward a more conscious and informed use of AI.
