About the "Data Science for Business Performance" Programme

With the number of participants limited to 20, this ensures a highly interactive and intensive experience with executive exchange and knowledge transfer. In such economically turbulent times, it’s important to focus on growth, invest in management and harness change, creating strong leaders equipped to steer through such future uncertainty and taking advantage of the data management and analytics. Together with the solid international reputation and established faculty of Solvay Brussels School, we present a Data Science for Business Performance executive programme that offers training excellence in Luxembourg.
Objectives
Our faculty has designed this programme to nurture functional cross-fertilisation between the members of your business and business-reporting-IT teams, as well as sectorial cross-fertilisation by collaborating with participants working in different industries from your own. Leaders will leave the programme with practical skills and tools that can be immediately put to use in the workplace.
