Executive Summit

Over the past few years, GlaxoSmithKline has transformed the way they use data across the enterprise. They have accelerated identification of research targets through the use of AI and ML on vast amounts of scientific data, digitized and optimized manufacturing and supply chain capabilities and are driving first quartile customer engagement with deep customer insights. Underpinning this transformation is an agile, product management culture and mindset and a commitment to an enterprise-wide data platform to enable access to high quality data at the pace of the business. 

Join this session as Shobie Ramakrishnan, Chief Digital and Technology Officer, shares her insights on how to: 

• Create cross-functional data teams to innovate at pace
• Foster true culture change via data modernization 
• Invest in talent and upskill the workforce to adapt with evolving technologies

Not only did the way of working change as a result of the pandemic; the talent landscape has never been more competitive. Data has quickly become a core competence in organizational decision-making for the future. To attract and retain quality candidates, organizations must create a culture that puts people first and put in the work each day to keep them. 

Join this panel discussion, as data leaders share ways to: 

• Create and support the professional development of your workforce
• Enable flexible talent models in order to remain agile
• Attract and retain talent — what has worked and what hasn't

According to Gartner, by 2025, 50% of CDOs will achieve digital acceleration goals using augmented data management practices across master data management, data hubs, quality data and integration.

Join this session as we explore best practices in:

• Tying MDM solutions to the business case versus the data domain
• Optimizing business operations and decision-making through real-time, high-quality data
• Building agility, performance, and resilience into master data management practices
