With new pressures coming from AI, CDAOs must be agile in implementing and enabling business innovation. But, with quick adaptation, inevitably comes stress on traditional D&A delivery processes and practices. Join this interactive session to lean how to: clarify strategies to support business innovation, design adaptable and scalable delivery models and collaborate with business units to ensure value of D&A capabilities and services.
