Data and AI are now a priority at board level in terms of value opportunity, but many organisations are still struggling to realise the benefits. In a world where tech debt is forefront of mind and there is a graveyard of forgotten proof of concepts, what do organisations really need to do to drive effective decision making from data and AI at scale?

Join Anush and Caro for a fireside chat as they debate key questions around balancing technology implementation, with user centred design and business change to enable effective decision making through data and AI. Work through what this means in terms of developing and executing on a data and AI strategy grounded in delivering real business value. Gain learnings from their experience working with leaders across the private equity market and how that has influenced a pragmatic approach to value lead implementation balancing need for short term impact with long term goals.

Anush and Caro will showcase real life examples and highlight practical recommendations to bring to life the reality that effective decision-making is, and always will be, a people and process challenge, enabled by tech.

As data becomes the currency of the modern economy, the ability to build and scale high-performance data capability is essential to set businesses up for their transformation journey. Yet, the average tenure of a data professional is less than 2 years. Join a panel discussion led by Anush Newman, CEO of JMAN Group, where a broken excel sheet led to a 400 person data business with an~80% retention rate at 2 years. 

He will draw out the perspectives and lived experiences of this esteemed panel of data practitioners representing a breadth of disciplines and seniorities, who face in to this challenge. They will delve into best practices for engaging diverse talent from a range of backgrounds, driving continuous learning, career transition and implementing frameworks that enable teams to adapt to rapidly changing demands and technologies. This session will look to share actionable strategies to transform your data capabilities into a powerful engine for innovation and growth.
