Data Science for Leaders equips senior executives with the aptitude to harness data science and business analytic insights to inform business decisions, strategy, execution, and more effective organizational leadership.

At the forefront of the nexus between data science and business analytics, Professor Kolstad draws on his robust research and industry engagement to define the capabilities, challenges, and decisions executives must make every day in leading an organization.
