Journey to the Intelligent Enterprise – Data-Driven Best Practices
This part is where the magic happens (or it all fails miserably)  Enterprises aspire to maximize their return on investment from data, and to quickly take advantage of the latest innovations in analytics, mobility, cloud, and AI/machine learning. Yet too many organizations struggle with disparate data systems, inconsistent data, closed architectures, and tools that only empower a fraction of the workforce. In this peer-driven discussion, discover:
  • How to empower individuals and teams with access to those tools, while establishing a single version of truth
  • Speed of innovation is enhanced by the right frictionless governance and security
  • How zero-trust designs allow the employee more freedom, more creativity, less friction with IT, rules and ‘no’
  • What are leaders and CDO’s doing to embrace these challenges and transform their businesses
  • How to apply the right tools and structure to balance counteractive forces, such as agility vs. governance
