Creating Data-Driven Business Leaders with Hind Benbya

Business leaders are changing.

Today, it’s not enough to be a strategic thinker and good people leader to be successful in the corporate world. Why?

Modern business leaders are customer-centric and understand how to create a personalised customer experience using customer data.

Modern business leaders are data-driven and understand how to make decisions based on probabilistic outcomes, not just gut feel.

Modern business leaders understand what it takes to develop and deploy artificial intelligence in their organisation.

So, how do we educate our future business leaders to be analytics literate, technically capable and able design and use AI effectively and responsibly?

I recently spoke to Professor Hind Benbya to answer this question and many more relating to educating our future business leaders.

Hind is the Head of the Department of Information Systems & Business Analytics at Deakin University, where she leads the strategic direction of the department as well as academic aspects of teaching, research and industry engagement.
