Course overview

This course aims to develop proficiency in using industry-standard analytical tools and techniques to operationalise customer-focused data, enabling better business decision-making and greater value creation. It begins with core topics, including customer segmentation through clustering, customer demand forecasting, and ethical, privacy, and managerial considerations in customer data analysis.
