On March 7 hosted an IronViz-style competition in partnership with in Malibu, CA. Tableau graciously provided training, licenses, and prizes.
Teams comprised of MS in Business Analytics (MSBA) and MBA students received a prompt the day of the event to leverage real customer data with the requirement of developing a dashboard; the data contained detailed purchase histories from 5,027 U.S. Amazon.com consumers, covering the period 2018 through 2022, comprising more than 1.8 million purchases.
