Within the framework of the agreement between Banco de Chile, Universidad Católica de Chile, and Tsinghua University, the twelfth version of the CMIX Conducting Business in China program has just concluded.

On this occasion, 17 MBA students and two professors from the UC along with two executives from Banco de Chile took part in a two-week study tour in China. The trip, which included academic, business, and cultural elements, began with classes taught at the Tsinghua University in Beijing, which is considered one of the best academic institutions in Asia.

Also, the students visited Schwarzman College – a new residential college in the same university, cradle of future global leaders – where the Chileans met with Latin American counterparts, and attended a conference by Richard Brodhead and Xue Lan, former President of Duke University and Dean of Schwarzman College, respectively.

As usual, the agenda also included high-level company and site visits in Beijing, Shanghai, and Shenzhen to the Banco de Chile Beijing office, Bank of China and Citi, Foxconn, Huawei, Tencent, BYD, and more.

El vertiginoso desarrollo de la tecnología en general, los avances de la inteligencia artificial y la creciente disponibilidad de datos de cualquier tipo ofrecen tremendas oportunidades para las empresas y organizaciones públicas, pero también retos para la formación de sus profesionales.

Encontrar sabiduría en los datos es fundamental, siendo el Data Analytics el enfoque perfecto que permite mezclar la estrategia de la organización y la ciencia de datos.

Consciente de este escenario, se juntaron el Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) de EE.UU. y la Universidad de Chile para ofrecer programas en Analytics del más alto nivel para formar profesionales de Chile y la región. A partir de mayo de 2019 se ofrecerá un programa denominado Data Analytics Certificate (Diploma en Data Analytics) impartido en Santiago por la Universidad de Chile con la participación de académicos del MIT, y dos semanas en Cambridge  EE.UU. por profesores del MIT Sloan School of  Management.

El certificado del MIT Sloan en Data Analytics, el primer programa que el MIT hace en conjunto con una Universidad Latinoamericana, tiene como objetivo preparar profesionales de alto nivel del sector privado y público para la toma de decisiones estratégicas basadas en datos (“data-driven decisión making”).
