Executive Summit

Exclusive to Governing Body members and select guests, this dinner is a can’t-miss opportunity to connect with your peers prior to tomorrow’s Executive Summit. Please join your colleagues for an evening of good food, wine, and lively networking.

In today’s era of digital transformation, successful chief data officers must be able to drive change while bridging the gap between business and technology teams. Overcoming the challenges of gaining alignment across the organization, balancing short and long term objectives, and connecting data capabilities to business outcomes is critical. This session will share best practices and a strategic framework for addressing these challenges through a comprehensive data strategy to transform your organization’s data and analytics capabilities.

Join your peers for a session focused on:

• Aligning data strategies with desired business outcomes
• Defining clear metrics to help measure the impact of your D&A program
• Overcoming enterprise complexities to gain greater insights and drive value

Data has become the new gold with an increased emphasis on machines and analytics for decision making. As inequities reach a boiling point societally, data and analytics leaders are critically evaluating organizational data practices and algorithms to weed out bias.

Join this session as D&A leaders share how they are:

• Creating data practices and mechanisms to understand the conditions of AI's code for processing data
• Devising governance methods to change the dichotomy between minority groups and data modeling 
• Deciding the ethical parameters that define modeling and outcome success

With high incentives for organizations to migrate to the cloud, CDOs are tasked with building data strategies that will allow the lines of business to innovate with data at scale and with high velocity. Facilitating high velocity innovation and collaboration around data requires autonomous guardrails around it, such that data is kept safe and obligations around security, privacy, governance and compliance are automatically fulfilled.

Join this peer-led presentation to discover novel approaches and best practices in:

• Building autonomous guardrails around your data as IaaS and SaaS systems increase
• Deploying consistent governance policies across any cloud architecture model
• Automating the fulfillment of global data privacy and compliance obligations

As CDOs continue to develop programs aimed at achieving the goals and objectives set by the business, leaders outside of your data organization must take responsibility for contributing to the success of the programs set before them. Processes that are linked to creating clean data are often out of your control, so having a plan to address those leaders and their teams is an important part of your success.

In this session, we'll discuss:

• Educating key stakeholders around why they should take responsibility for best data practices
• Understanding archetypes for change acceptance within your organization 
• Using storytelling to influence departments to embrace quality data processes

Data drives everything we do and is increasingly critical for enterprises to strategically use as they compete in their industry. Gartner research shows that 78% of boards of directors believe analytics is emerging as a game-changer, influenced by the pandemic. Now is the time for D&A leaders to not only focus on data, technology and skills but the culture around data and analytics and how leadership is embracing that effort.

Join this interactive session as CDOs: 

• Evaluate their data and analytics strategies
• Uncover gaps and areas of opportunity for growth and development
• Identify innovative capabilities to maximize on the customer experience while maintaining internal efficiency
