LUCKNOW: In today’s data-saturated world, it’s no longer enough for data scientists to build models. They’re now expected to drive strategy, guide business decisions, and lead transformation.
With AI adoption becoming mainstream across industries, organisations are increasingly seeking AI-fluent, business-savvy data professionals who can do more than code. They need data scientists who can communicate value, align with business goals, and scale insights across the enterprise.
That’s exactly where the Data Science and AI for Managers programme from the Indian Institute of Management Lucknow (IIM Lucknow) steps in. A cutting-edge online programme designed to help data scientists, analysts, and technical professionals become high-impact business leaders.
The Rise of the Strategic Data Scientist
AI has moved out of R&D and into the boardroom. From finance and supply chain to retail and healthcare, data scientists are increasingly being tasked with answering big-picture questions:
- Where is the next growth opportunity?
- How do we personalise at scale?
- What can we automate and how do we do it responsibly?
While the technical skills remain essential, the new expectation is cross-functional fluency. The ability to translate models into action and insights into impact.
That’s where IIM Lucknow’s Data Science and AI for Managers programme excels.
