A heartfelt thanks to my amazing teaching assistants and the incredible companies, including Fater and P&G, who shared their Analytics use cases with our classes. Your contributions enriched our learning experience and gave students a glimpse into real-world applications! #DayOne #PeopleFirst

🙌 So many people to thank now... I’m immensely proud of my students for their curiosity, creativity, and resilience in tackling these challenges. I got them out of their comfort zone, and they made it through!

🎓 During this semester at Luiss Guido Carli University, I taught nearly 150 brilliant students among master's students in Marketing and bachelor's students in Management and AI. Many of them will be looking for their first job soon - they are precious material, so hire them if you can!

So the question is: are businesses ready for this shift? Are they taking care of their employees' Data and AI fluency? In most cases... unfortunately, not yet!

3️⃣ 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗯𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗔𝗜 𝗶𝘀 𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲: To thrive, companies must support these competencies and be ready for a workforce equipped with these skills. Universities play a critical role in preparing students, but learning in this field truly never ends.

2️⃣ 𝗛𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘀-𝗼𝗻 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝗻𝘃𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲: My students built RFM models from scratch, designed AI-driven geo-marketing recommendations, and translated numbers into consumer insights and data stories using tools like KNIME and Power BI. Their first-person experience will make them better leaders.

Key takeaways I personally got to reflect on:

1️⃣ 𝗙𝘂𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗮 𝘀𝗸𝗶𝗹𝗹𝘀: Understanding what AI is (and isn’t) is critical, as well as learning its organisational and cultural enablers. Managers-to-be must understand what's at stake and navigate data and AI topics with fluency.
