Today’s enterprises face intensifying pressure to modernize—fueled by AI transformation, rising customer expectations, and economic and regulatory complexity. But without trusted, unified data, AI initiatives stall, operational risks grow, and business outcomes fall short.
Join fellow CDAOs for an interactive discussion on how to unlock the full value of enterprise data by building a real-time, context-rich data foundation. We’ll explore how to overcome core data challenges and move beyond outdated approaches that trade speed for trust.
1. Establishing a Data Unification Strategy That Delivers
- How are you aligning business outcomes to clear data unification goals?
- What’s working in evaluating and scaling data unification tools across domains?
- How do you design governance frameworks that ensure trusted, secure data at scale?
2. Fueling AI with Trusted, Interoperable Core Data
- Why “good enough” data is no longer good enough in the age of agentic AI
- Strategies to ensure data integrity, lineage, and real-time availability for AI workflows
- How transparent, governed data supports safe, scalable AI adoption and minimizes risk
