What you will get out of this programme

Participants are asked to create a problem statement. Together, we address the data, models, decision points, and value chains needed to solve that problem. We will then consider how to tactically navigate the common pitfalls that cause ML / AI project failures.

Each participant’s observations and answers are recorded and transformed into a workbook. This workbook can be leveraged to bring your own product to life.

Certificate

After completion of the four modules and a 500-word executive summary, participants will receive a course certificate.
