On the rapidly emerging main stage of data and analytics, the role of the CDO is one of the most challenging positions. CDOs have been evolving into data and analytics champions at a steady pace, with recent acceleration due to analytics programs maturing to include data science, machine learning and artificial intelligence. Today’s CDO is expected to not deliver on traditional needs, but respond to new and innovative opportunities. In this dinner, you’ll have a chance to talk with your CDO peers about how to put data to work, build the optimal team and rethink the way AI and machine learning can change your business.
Putting Data and Analytics Principles to Work
- Where are you on the descriptive, predictive, prescriptive analytics maturity continuum? How are you taking the next step?
- In what ways are you monetizing data?
- How can you increase the value of data that’s already being created?
- How do you measure ROI for a data analytics initiative?
After the first topic discussion, there will be a short break. Participants will then change tables for the second topic discussion.
Getting Results With AI and Machine Learning
- What tools, methodologies or infrastructures are instrumental in your plans to leverage AI?
- What business applications do you or would you use natural language processing for?
- In what ways are you using AI?
- How are you applying predictive modeling?
