Keynote Presentation: Accelerate the Value of Your Data and Drive its Monetization

• How to keep your executive management engaged on the value possibilities of their data?
• Understand data as a raw material: this is not a degradable commodity!
• What does success look like when marrying people with process in your data transformation strategy?
• Action a vision to upgrade global data analytics capabilities and platforms.

• When it comes to AI and ML initiatives, build capabilities progressively—and don’t leave your business users behind
• Business users need data. Data lies at the heart of every decision. They need analytics to help them understand it. So, where does AI fit in?
• Despite all the talk of AI and ML, there are very real hurdles to the adoption of advanced analytics technologies, especially at organizations with sizable data investments and tricky business challenges.
• Simply put many organizations lack the data governance controls for many AI and ML projects to make it past the experimental stage, or the tools to give everyday users the ability to collaborate with more advanced users.
• How do we attack the challenge and gradually integrate advanced analytics into traditional analytics workflow?
• In this session we explore how we can breed confidence in the user base, allowing ingenuity to flourish, safely, by equipping business users with smart, AI-assisted analytics that encourage familiarity and confidence, so a data-driven, problem-solving culture is more likely to emerge.
