Discover how to drive smart and agile operations

Why don't I find the EPFL EMBA program in MBA ranking lists? 

A minimum of 50 students per class is required to allow an MBA program to enter an international ranking. Our program will never be this size, as we insist upon having classes specifically designed for highly personalized one-to-one interactions (max. of 36 students per year).

The value of this program is far greater than a cumulative learning of modules you could find elsewhere online!

Any questions?

Value Chain Data Technologies 
3-Month part-time course at EPFL

As a middle or senior Manager in the private, public or non-governmental sector, does any of the following resonate with you?

• You find the rapid digital transformation and buzz about AI interesting and wonder how you could leverage it in your organization given its complexity
  
  
• You think that there is an overall knowledge and skill gap to leverage digitalization for end-to-end connectivity in your organization’s value chain
  
  
• You are a problem solver and finding solutions that have a positive environmental and social impact motivates you
  
  
• You and your team have rich business operations experience, but feel you are missing data technology expertise to build a smart sustainable value chain
  
  
• You want to use your skills and expertise to do something more meaningful in your professional life

Join us at EPFL Executive Education SRVC to bridge that knowledge gap and leverage experience and skills to trailblaze the path to this dual transition.

What will I learn?
You don’t need to be an engineer, in this course we dive into the detail but not too deep. The desired learning outcome is knowing what questions to ask within organisations and what the answers would imply in terms of appropriate data technologies solutions in order to have the right conversations with the right people/experts for responsible decision-making and effective execution.
 
We provide participants with an understanding of the importance of unlocking data value in manufacturing and supply systems, the principles and challenges related to it. Participants will unlock the mystery of IoT and AI, embrace the importance of data integrity, secure data sharing and analytics and be inspired by many real life implementation case studies.

You will study at EPFL, engage with world-class professors & leading industry experts, and build a niche professional network.
