What's The Big Idea? AIM bids for big data leadership

The Asian Institute of Management believes executives need to learn to think and speak “data” and is creating a masteral program to teach them the new language of business. It’s also organizing a lab to work on problems business and government bring to them.

It’s building the team for this work, including two Filipinos who worked in Singapore’s Agency for Science Technology and Research.
