As AI rapidly moves from experimentation to deployment, one truth is becoming clear: AI is only as powerful as the data that fuels it. Traditional data architectures—rigid, siloed & hard to scale—are no longer fit for purpose in this new era. Enter the era of data products and data fabric—a bold shift in how organizations treat data not as a byproduct, but as a high-value asset engineered for consumption, agility, and impact. Join us as we unpack what this shift means & why CXOs need to rethink data strategies to accelerate AI adoption & enable real-time intelligence to unlock business value.

Data products are all the rage within D&A functions as the next wave of potential solutions to reduce the business-IT friction and provide sustained means to data delivery. However, there are many challenges. This session will help D&A leaders understand and build data products, manage and govern them through contracts, and sustain them through marketplaces, governance, and ops best practices.

To position their teams as a must-have discipline that can fulfill cross-functional use cases, D&A leaders must optimize their organizational model. The optimal organizational model is one that balances enterprisewide capabilities focused on enablement with decentralized needs focused on outcomes. In this session you will learn the design principles behind the right D&A organizational model and how to balance a centralized team (focused on enablement) and decentralized needs (focused on outcomes).

Moving AI projects from pilot to production requires substantial effort for most enterprises.
