Data Driven Leadership - Is There a Crisis?
Today's business leaders are expected to be data-driven and to use data as an important source of input when making important decisions, regardless of whether they’re small and routine or big and highly strategic. Thus, meaning that the usefulness of data has become a well-accepted fact.
This panel will explore the following key questions:
•Why is it important for business leaders to be data driven?
•The importance of creating a data-driven culture?
•How do you communicate the need to accelerate, rather than slow, investments in data and analytics to business leaders?

Roundtables
Track 1: Emerging Tech and Delivering at Scale
Data presents an invaluable opportunity for firms to innovate but with the volume and complexity of data executives face a number of obstacles. Harnessing the right innovative technologies to handle the volume and complexity of data requires a stack of advanced machinery, including high-performance data stores, reliable and fast data processing pipelines, powerful analytical models, flexible integration layers, and interactive visualization systems.
This roundtable will explore the following key questions:
•How can we make interactions with data easier while ensuring smooth and controllable information diffusion throughout the enterprise.
•How can data leaders drive change while bridging the gap between businesses and technologies?
•To examine how can we use Analytics, including AI and the subfield of deep machine learning more effectively to innovate?
•How to utilize the data to analyze past and present trends, ideas, and market behavior?
Track 2: Making Data driven decisions, talent and culture - The importance of how they work hand in hand.
Data is sustaining new business models and transforming how companies organize, operate, manage talent, and create value. Thus, data is seen as a double-edged sword for leaders, the ability to seize the potential of advanced analytics, while simultaneously avoiding its hazards, is becoming harder.
This roundtable will explore the following key questions:
•What opportunities will upskilling non-tech employees in data and analytics bring and are there any challenges that will also arise?
•How can we obtain a strong, unified commitment from all levels of management?
•In what way can we empower the front lines to make analytics- driven decisions?
•How has the role of data within your organization changed as a result of the global pandemic?
Track 3: Data & Analytics Strategies driving the future
Gartner says traditional data and analytics strategies cannot satisfy digital business demands. But Gartner analysts predict that by 2025, 70% of enterprises will move from big data to small and wide data (or data that comes from a variety of sources), thus enabling more context for analytics and intelligent decision-making.
This roundtable will explore the following key questions:
•How can we help our enterprise examine how the use of internal and external data can reinvent how we deliver value?
•What does the future of big data analytics have in store?
•How can we develop a clear data strategy with a strong data governance?

Panel Discussion
Data Management vs Data Governance
Data management and data governance are not the same things, however they are both essential to ensure the successful and beneficial use of data in your company. The ultimate goal is to determine a holistic approach to control data assets, so that you can get the most value from the data. Technology should support data governance through automation, scaling and augmentation.
This panel will explore the following key questions:
•How can leaders balance innovation and governance successfully?
•How can we design a data governance plan that is strong against any disruption that may occur in the future?
•How can data governance and data management build a strong data foundation?
•What specific actions are required to stay ‘safe’ amid data chaos?
