About this course

This is the final stage of the Ucanly Business Analytics track, where business partners become analytics leaders.

In your week six minor project, you will build a governed analytics foundation with a semantic layer, data quality controls, and an executive decision system, defended to a leadership panel. You will also architect AI analytics platforms with governed text to SQL, multi agent investigation, and numerical accuracy guardrails, and build skills in leading an analytics team. You will graduate having led a board ready analytics transformation in your week twelve major project, with a causal business case, an optimization model, a financial and capital argument, an AI analytics platform design, an org plan, and a live board level defense.
