IÉSEG DataViz Challenge

Presentation

This ‘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.

Topic

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?

Report

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.
