Leading through change can be difficult, but data is the foundation for innovation and transformation. For many, the last two years have forced leaders to be resilient and quick to take action, but this should not be considered a point-in-time strategy – it’s an iterative foundation for growth. On 1 February, we will hear from business leaders on strategies they have implemented to empower their workforce to become more data-driven. We’ll discuss how leaders have managed change to help their workforce treat data like an organizational asset and harness it to achieve better business outcomes.
The last two years forced organizations to figure out how to become more agile. Many turned to the use of artificial intelligence and machine learning as the solution, but it’s important for leaders to remain focused on the big picture – innovation. Join us as we talk with business leaders on how having a strong data strategy enables innovation and agility at their companies and how this builds a solid foundation for building more advanced AI/ML capabilities.
