AI is not the only thing driving rapid change in data and analytics. From the next generation of augmented analytics tools to the use of continuous intelligence to interpret streams of data from IoT or the potential of conversational interfaces, there is rapid evolution in how and where analysis can be deployed. This session will explore the changing array of tools available to organisations and the relative business impacts of these developments.

Data management, analytics and digital transformation is often treated as a complex and expensive challenge to be solved. As a data leader and change agent Darren is on a transformation journey to change the focus and mindset about data being seen as a strategic business asset, a real opportunity, instead of being seen as a technology problem. In this session he’ll explore how he’s been working to shift the enterprise conversation away from a technology centric view of “what can we do with our data”, to a business capability centric view of “how will we use our data” to compete and win in the new world of digital disruption. ]

Data and analytics leaders are responsible for both information governance and data monetisation. But as a relatively new function in many organisations, data and analytics teams are under the spotlight to produce high-quality results quickly and efficiently. Beyond this, to see true value from these new technology tools, a culture of data-driven work has to be embedded within your organisation.
