Course overview
Successful business strategies rely on understanding data and analytics, with AI playing an increasingly pivotal role. However, not everyone is “AI-literate". Without leaders who can translate data and AI insights into business value, even the most capable teams may struggle to gain traction with executives or drive innovation. What’s needed is a rare type of leader who can blend business acumen, technical and communication skills, advocate for data, analytics and AI at the executive level and drive digital strategy.
RMIT Online’s Master of Business Analytics and AI Strategy is designed to address this gap, empowering professionals to become AI and data-literate leaders who can integrate cutting-edge analytics with business strategy.
