Opening Keynote Panel

12:00 pm - 12:45 pm Crafting a Data and Analytics Strategy for a Global Organization

The scale and complexity of crafting a global data and analytics strategy and implementing and driving it demands a clear unifying vision that can be broadly communicated and implemented and also, one that is regionally perceptive and adaptable. While digitally-driven globalization accelerates and more value-creating opportunities are identified globally, there are also mounting shifts towards restrictions of cross-border data flow and localization. The role of the Global CDAO who leads global data strategy has never been more challenging, exciting, and rewarding. Join these Global Leaders of D&A to discuss:

• The role of the Global CDAO within multinational organizations

• The considerations and challenges of crafting a global D&A vision and strategy

• Structuring and leading a collaborative, globally distributed team and culture

• Ensuring data quality and enabling analysis of geographically dispersed data

• Mapping your global D&A ecosystem of stakeholders and sources

1:55 pm - 2:25 pm Data Governance Strategy for Large, Complex, Geographically Distributed Companies

Shifting from more centralized to distributed work has required organizations to make data and data management capabilities available more rapidly and in more places than ever before. A consistent and reliable flow of data across people, teams, and functions that enables fast problem solving is crucial to business survival. This session examines the essence of developing a data governance strategy that provides trusted data and enables collaboration in complex multinational organizations.

• Unique challenges and considerations of data governance on a global scale

• Develop a holistic and adaptable approach to global data governance 

• Selecting the right governance style based on business context, scenario, complexity, and data maturity

• Establish a central governance system to meet the needs of a complex multinational organization

• Data governance strategies that connect and integrate silos

Closed Door Boardrooms and Masterclass

Boardroom A

2:40 pm - 3:40 pm Bridging the Gap Between Tech and Business Leadership to Enable Innovation and Transformation in Global Organization

 As a Global CDAO, how do you create alignment between Tech and Business Leaders in your organization to develop a digital transformation strategy that includes analytics modernization, cloud migration, data

democratization or data fabric/data mesh to enable innovation and transformation in your organization. Join your peers to discuss, why despite the strategic and competitive advantages of a data-centric

approach, it may take a lot of effort to get others to see that it is the right thing to do for the corporation and understand the perceived gap between business, leadership, and IT.

• Getting validation in starting a corporate digital transformation initiative

• Working in marketing, sales, finance, and other business roles who need to understand the goals and value IT brings

• Framing the benefits of digital transformation without having to read excessive technical jargon

• Convincing doubters that digital transformation is the right thing to do

• Convincing others in their corporation of ITs value

Boardroom B

2:40 pm - 3:40 pm Best Practices for Managing and Distributing Data on a Global and Local Level

As a global CDAO, how you manage and distribute your data both at the local and global levels directly impacts business value. This boardroom discussion will examine lessons learned and best practices in the deployment of global data management to meet the new business, technical and regulatory requirements for modern data management in a multinational and global context. 

• Identify best practices to manage your data in the context of specific business processes

• Build sophisticated global data management to step up to the scale, speed, diversity, and complexity

• Establish a thriving global organization by leveraging global data for innovative use cases

• Implement integrated and repurposed data, ranging from advanced analytics to real-time business management

• Integrate security and data protection into your best practices

Masterclass

2:40 pm - 3:40 pm Scaling Decision Intelligence in a Large Complex Organization

As business environments become more complex and volatile and organizations try to stay afloat in a sea of data, many are turning to Decision Intelligence (DI) to act as the needed missing link between data and better decision making. DI uses AI-powered information to make more efficient and accurate decisions at scale. It effectively strips away complexity and accelerates translation from data to decisions so that organizations can derive more value from their investments in data and machine learning models, and stay ahead of business opportunities by arriving at decisions faster.

• How DI differs from AI and fuses BI, data science, management, and decision modeling

• Use cases for decision intelligence – optimizing human augmented strategic decisions and automated, AI-enabled tactical decisions

• Designing decision models and processes in the context of business outcomes, performance, and stakeholder behaviors

• Eliminating bias while accommodating the value of human intuition, knowledge, and judgment

Closed-door boardrooms are by invitation only and are exclusive to a limited number of participants. There will be no recording, press admitted, or sales presentations to ensure that discussions among community members will be as candid as possible. Due to the limited number of participants admitted please register your interest with your account executive before the conference. A Masterclass is a hands-on, educational learning experience open to the entire community.
