Applied Data Science as a project - a professional and HR case study
Details
Agenda:
6.20 pm: A talk by Dr Rafael Valero-Fernandez
7.00 pm: Q & A, discussion and chat
Abstract: "More projects arise involving applied Data Science, the relatively new buzz-word. Regardless of the resources poured on such projects, the risk of delayed or failed projects has not changed. There are different ways to prevent both, from organisational management, agile methodologies, to support software used to coordinate and collaborate, algorithms and other related frameworks. In this talk, the overall view of Data Science projects will be presented with a focus on Human Resource case studies."
Bio: "Rafael has a PhD and a Masters in Quantitative Economics and Degrees in Economics and Management.
