The Data Science & Strategy Lecture Series seeks to provide an understanding of the role of data and statistical analysis in managerial decision-making. The focus is on the role of managers as both consumers and producers of information, illustrating how finding and/or developing the right data and applying appropriate statistical methods can help solve problems in business. In this video series, Haas lecturer and lecture series host Greg La Blanc interviews industry executives and data science practitioners on key topics in data science in conjunction with graduate courses in Data Science/Data Strategy and invited lectures.
