91³Ô¹ÏÍø this unique cross-industry data management course for new and current practitioners.
Short Course & Professional Development
In the context of power and fuel generation, students will explore the development of the energy sector towards the fourth industrial revolution, focusing on nuclear power, oil and gas and wind and including the current developments and value in energy data management.
Rather than simply focusing on production stages, the course encompasses data and information along the full asset lifecycle, starting with original equipment manufacturers and continuing all the way through to asset decommissioning.
Thus, it is valuable to data managers in all organisations active in the supply chain. The focus is on the business and public outcomes of appropriate management of this data and information, and the consequences of inappropriate management.
