Technology has turned the tables in favour of consumers, enabling them to find goods and services faster and access more choices. Companies now compete more intensely to capture consumers’ mindshare and scour for ways to keep their products relevant. But every coin has two sides. While technology has empowered consumers with choice, it has also offered companies a plethora of data to understand consumers better. This puts the odds in favour of companies that can leverage on data to gain consumer insights and meet their business objectives.
Companies that have honed their data craft have become industry game changers. Amazon, Ebay, Lazada have transformed the retail industry through personalised product recommendation and customised consumer content because of their data-focused foundation, which has supported their business strategies.

It was never easy for anyone to go back to school, much less doing it on a part-time basis while working on a full-time job. What makes it more challenging is that Data Analytics is completely a different field from where I come from (Accounting). However, the MITB programme is aimed to bring a person like me who desired to make an impact on organisations and companies by imparting valuable knowledge and relevant skillsets to the students. The journey was not easy but a worthwhile one. You will get to learn the best practices from the best professors and industry experts, eventually it will serve you well when you enter into a new industry or contributing to your current one. Take the opportunity to learn as much from the programme and expand your horizons. Never doubt your abilities and always keep learning because education is definitely your best investment.
