The 3-Day Workshop will provide the following: > 12 SESSIONS> CASE STUDIES> DISCUSSION FORUMS

COURSE INFORMATION ONLINE: http://cusp.nyu.edu/ExecEd

COURSE DESCRIPTION

The Center for Urban Science and Progress executive program will

highlight the skills required to partner with senior management and key

executives within your organization in order to design and implement city

analytics and urban informatics initiatives that deliver measurable, scalable

results.

Each module will offer high-level understandings on concepts in urban

science & informatics as well as providing current insights and

developments in research. Over the course of the three days, trends,

challenges, and opportunities for big data applications for urban systems

will be addressed. Additionally, such critical informatics skills as data

management and mining of massive datasets, data science and analytics,

and information visualization will be reviewed with particular focus on the

practical aspects of developing and deploying solutions in urban

environments.

The program sessions are taught by expert faculty, researchers, and

practitioners using case studies, cohort discussions, and professional

coaching.

Today's cities generate data at an astounding rate. NYC's agencies produce nearly a terabyte of digital information daily. Managing such massive amounts of data is difficult. Putting them to use in even harder. CUSP's Exective program develops your skills to address city and organizational challenges with muli-sourced large-scale data.

WHO BENEFITS?Prerequisite(s):

The application of the course is broad and can apply to both early career professionals as well as senior technical managers. Participants will benefit the most from the concepts taught in this course if they have at least three years of work experience.

Our work will generate new understanding and technologies, and in turn

new ventures and new jobs. More broadly, we will share the lessons we learn

with the rest of the world to make cities around the planet better places to

live and work.

LEARNING OBJECTIVESToday's cities generate data at astounding rates. Take NYC for example. Its agencies produce nearly a terabyte of digital information daily on everything from traffic tickets to 311 calls. Managing such massive amounts of data is difficult. Putting them to use is even harder. CUSP’s three-day Urban Informatics and City Analytics program develops your ability to address city and organizational challenges with large-scale data from a variety of sources.

You will gain the following knowledge and competencies as a participant:

> Create and Manage:

Discover how to establish and sustain an urban informatics program in your organization, and how to make it work effectively with other organizations.

> Use Large-Scale Datasets:

Find Remedies to fundamental city problems in the developed and developing worlds are locked away in vast stores of data. Hone skills to help uncover them.

> Understand Urban Informatics:

An understanding of urban science and urban informatics and their relationship to the operation and development of cities.

> Identify and Assess Problems:

To arrive at a solution, you must start with a clear problem. Learn how to identify a problem, evaluate data needs, and determine analytical approaches for complex urban challenges.

> Data-Driven Decision Making:

Experience and intuition remain critical, but data has an increasingly important role in decision-making. Find out how to lead data-driven decision-making and analytical problem solving processes.
