D&A and AI leaders, including CDAOs, continue to face challenges in demonstrating the value of D&A and AI initiatives. This session will provide a roadmap for gaining stakeholder buy-in, quantifying value and building a robust business case, learning from the successes of other organizations, and continuously measuring results and adjusting.
Prioritizing data and AI literacy programs directly impacts the core measures of a firm’s financial performance. Investing in data and AI literacy is the fastest way for D&A leaders to achieve payback in their D&A maturity journey, especially in early stages of maturity.
AI is drastically changing how organizations do business and operate. As a result, data, analytics and AI must be approached differently, with a focus on value — the organizational capabilities, competencies and processes required to utilize AI and data to redesign workflows and enable decisions orchestrated by both people and machines in near real time. This session gets you grounded on the capabilities of the intelligent enterprise, why it is important and how to pivot toward this model.
Join an interactive executive discussion on emerging trends from the 2026 CDAO Agenda Survey, highlighting cost optimization for D&A, scalable design patterns and the use of AI to improve D&A operations. Discover how these insights can drive efficiency and innovation across your organization.
