      Welcome to the Business Intelligence course!

      The course includes a collaboration with both Tableau and Turku School of Economics (TSE) on a joint competition, which is also the course's final assignment. Due to the need to accommodate the course time of TSE, the final assignment will be published in the last week of the course teaching period.

      Delivery method: The course will be delivered on-site
      Online coaching for only hands-on sessions (two sessions):  https://aalto.zoom.us/j/5138969960

      The objective of the course is to give the students an understanding of data-informed decision-making. The focus is on business-oriented analytical skills, which enable the students to work with the data, understand them and turn them into intelligence and actions.

      After the course, you will be able to:
      • Obtain an understanding of data-informed decision-making in enterprises.
      • Obtain business-oriented analytical skills using Power BI, Tableau, and Weka.
