Agenda

4:30pm - 5:30pm  Executive Networking Reception

5:30pm - 6:30pm  Discussion Topics

Building the Business Decision Advantage

As organizations expand their investments in data and AI, expectations for measurable business value continue to rise. For many CDAOs, the challenge is becoming less about generating insights and more about ensuring intelligence influences the decisions that matter most. From investment priorities and resource allocation to growth and operational performance, leaders are increasingly focused on how intelligence can improve enterprise outcomes. 

The organizations creating the greatest advantage are often those that can translate intelligence into action and business value. Join fellow CDAOs for an interactive discussion on how leading organizations are improving decision effectiveness, demonstrating ROI, and turning investments in data and AI into measurable business impact. 

Discussion Questions 

  • Which business decisions create the greatest enterprise value, and how are you improving them? 

  • Where have data and AI materially changed an important business decision, investment, or priority, and what made that change possible? 

  • How do you connect intelligence initiatives to measurable business value, outcomes, and ROI? 

  • Which decisions should remain human-led, be AI-augmented, or become increasingly automated? 

  • What prevents organizations from consistently turning intelligence into action at scale? 

6:30pm - 7:00pm  Networking Break

7:00pm - 8:00pm  Summary Discussion & Dinner

8:00pm - 9:00pm  Social Hour
