Within the Master in Apprenticeship “Financial Institutions: Risk, Compliance and Data Analytics” of the Grande Ecole Program, IÉSEG is launching the 3rd edition of its Data Visualization challenge in partnership with the company Cofidis Group.
This DataViz Challenge is opened to all students enrolled in a European higher education institution.
Take part in the challengeThis ‘Dataviz’ challenge will allow participants to tackle a real challenge from the bank sector, responding to a problem issued by Cofidis Group, partner of the project.
The challenge is free of charge and is opened to all students enrolled in a European higher education institution. Participants can compete on their own or in pairs.
In the framework of this project, students will thus receive an anonymous database that they will then transform into a visual by using the Data Visualization software of their choice.
For this edition, the theme is: "Build a tool for managing the activity of granting consumer credit, aimed at business agents".
Within Cofidis, credit agents need to be able to perform a quick and simple analysis of their partners; they also occasionally need to analyze more precise points, whenever one of the KPIs shows an abnormal trend, either downward or upward, in addition to analyzing the profile of borrowing customers. How to present this information in a synthetic, efficient and pleasant way in order to facilitate the work of the credit agent?
A one-page PDF in English for the visual - students are free to use the Data Visualization software of their choice.
An additional page of explanation in English of 300 words maximum can be added in addition to the visual.
"Managing data is a strategic issue for Cofidis. It will allow us to continue to innovate, to conserve our leadership and to reinvent our customer experience. This also allows us to perform and to transform our organizations: Data actually permits us to stay one-step ahead, and this is moreover one of the main professions of our Group! Today, and through our partnership with IÉSEG, it is important for us to collaborate with students in order to enrich our perspective, to open up to new methods and to share our vision related to the subject."
