16:30 - 17:30 Executive Networking Reception
17:30 - 18:30 Discussion Topics
Delivering Results – Crafting a Business-Driven Data, Analytics and AI Strategy
Many organisations aim to be data-driven, but for CDAOs to contribute effectively, their data, analytics, and AI strategies must be directly linked to tangible business results. While this alignment can be challenging, CDAOs should focus on becoming influential business leaders who can extend their impact beyond the traditional data domain.
Join this discussion to explore how to develop a strategy to effectively leverage D&A and AI capabilities to achieve business outcomes.
Who are the key stakeholders impacted by your organisation's D&A strategy, and how are you involving them in strategy development?
How are you ensuring that your D&A strategy remains resilient and adaptable to emerging technologies and shifting market conditions?
How are you communicating the value and purpose of your D&A strategy across the organisation?
How are you reframing D&A Strategy goals as furthering business outcomes, rather than projects or milestones?
How are you deciding where to utilise emerging analytics tools, such as AI, and communicating the specific goals of these initiatives to the wider business?
18:30 - 19:00 Networking Break
19:00 - 20:30 Summary Discussion & Dinner
