Course content, structure and pedagogical approach

Data is changing the world, and with it what we can do (in terms of business models), how we look and understand systems, and the inherent risk in it. This course tries to give an overview over the technological changes driven by data, an introduction into the empirical models so that course participants can confidently oversee and discuss the work of specialists. In the second phase it then discusses the compliance dimension, which logically follows on the back of understanding risk. This course will be grounded in a real life cases and theoretical perspectives of the challenges experienced by companies.

 

The course will introduce statistical methods and use of big data in identifying and measuring risk, the regulatory changes and the link between Risk Management and Compliance.
