An introduction to the use of data and analysis in sport

It is an integral part of the work in the financial markets to use data and analyze data statistically. In recent years, we have seen that the methods used for the use of data and analysis have increasingly gained traction in the world of sports as well. In the world's biggest basketball league, the NBA, virtually all teams have established large analysis departments in recent years, and few decisions about e.g. recruitment of new players takes place without the players' data being thoroughly analysed. We see the same in e.g. Danish football, where more and more super league clubs are now hiring data analysts. In this workshop, economist Lars Christensen takes the participants on a journey through the use of data and analysis in various sports and gives the participants an introduction to "Moneyball". The workshop is suitable for boards and management in sports clubs and sports companies and can be tailored to suit the club/company's challenges and tasks. In addition to advising on and researching global economics and financial markets, Lars Christensen also advises on sports economics and data and participates as an external lecturer in a research project on digitization in sports at the Department of Digitization at CBS. Lars is CEO and head of analysis for the AI, data and analysis company Paice, of which he is also co-owner and founder. Lars is also chairman of Denmark's largest basketball club Falcon Basketball.
