Debating Critical Themes

View Past Agenda
01 Effective EIM & Data Management to maximise value

Managing fragmented data in an enterprise is highly complex, compounded by volume, variety and velocity. What scalable information and data architectures are the steps to Data-Driven Enterprise success?
02 Data Protection and Compliance without Access frictions

Customer data and privacy must be protected with managed risk. What strategies address data lifecycles and reduce roadblocks, whilst still ensuring efficient access, resilience and results?
03 Evidence Based Decisions: A Unified View from the noise

The vision is timely and accurate visualisation and dashboards for evidence-based insights. But how to prioritise, store, manage, analyse and automate a unified view from vast pools of data distributed across several environments and clouds?
04 Self-Service Analytics: Data culture at the edge

We need to architect, scale and democratise data sharing, access and informing decisions with self-serve capability. How do you reach the teams that need it, then understand and anticipate their needs? While also guaranteeing governance and compliance?
05 Maturing Data Strategy: unleashing true ML & AI

Data is the critical tool for modernisation, automation and transformation – to enable agility and drive value. But your Data strategy and capabilities must match current and future needs. Will generative AI like ChatGPT help or hinder? Can we increase the use of other valuable unstructured data types?
06 The next steps in Data Culture and Connectivity

After the heavy lift, our C-suite and Board must embed data culture and tech-enabled collaboration. Imagine automated decision rights, platform mindsets, digital partnering and ecosystem strategies. What does the Chief Data Officer need to foresee to reduce the complexity? How to create the frameworks today?
