Southern California CDAO Executive Summit

Governing Body members host this dinner for attendees to launch the event with an evening of peer networking.

The 2020s are now commonly referred to as the “age of the unexpected.” Organizations must navigate the unpredictable with a calculated and dynamic mindset. From labor disruptions and supply chain shortages to rising inflation and increased regulation, data and analytics leaders need quality data for analytics and predictive modeling – all for sound decision-making when disruption is the norm

Join this session to discuss strategies to:

• Drive better decisions and accelerate time to insights
• Leverage data and analytics to enable high value work
• Encourage innovation to directly improve business outcomes

When the gates to organizational data are open to all, innovation and business outcomes accelerate across the enterprise as actionable insights are delivered directly to your front-line workers. However, with this vast access comes great responsibility. As companies expand self-service data, how can they ensure that data privileges and data literacy increase at the same rate to ensure success while mitigating risks?

Join this boardroom as CDOs discuss:

• Evolving from a siloed to democratized data model
• Determining data privileges for data owners and users across the enterprise
• Challenging your workforce to become data literate and embrace self-service data

Executive boardrooms are intimate and interactive sessions designed to foster dynamic dialogue around a specific, strategic topic. These private, closed-door discussions encourage attendee participation and are limited to 15 attendees (seating priority is given to CDOs).

The first step to achieving successful self-service analytics is to strive for an agile analytics environment. Empowering business users to create their own reports and queries without data team support allows insights to be shared with decision makers at faster speeds.

Join CDO’s as they discuss:

• Identifying gaps in company culture that hinder self-service models
• Strategizing use of all data assets to deliver self-service tools
• Selecting and adopting the tools needed to enable data efficiency amongst business users

The data flowing into an organization isn’t only increasing, it’s coming even more sources and ecosystems. The expanded use of advanced analytics gives leaders the ability to analyze data across disparate sources, enabling them to produce more accurate forecasts for strategic decision making.

Join this session to discuss:

• Breaking organizational silos to deliver advanced analytics
• Using predictive and prescriptive models to stay ahead of competitor and consumer trends
• Communicating the ROI of advanced analytics

According to Gartner, by 2025, CDAOs who establish value-stream-based collaboration will significantly outperform their peers in driving cross-functional collaboration and value creation. As the role of the CDAO continues to evolve, so does the lens through which D&A leaders approach the decision-making process and propel key business objectives.

Join this panel discussion to hear CDAO peer perspectives on:

• Engaging the business to enhance analytic competency
• Empowering the organization to embrace a data-driven mindset
• Remaining agile in a rapidly changing digital ecosystem

For many organizations, decision-making has long stemmed from gut experience. But now with a plethora of operational and behavioral data available, the enterprise must adopt a data-centric culture to remain competitive with digital natives. When you have the right data at the right time, insights can lead to new opportunities for business leaders. But how do you structure your data platform for time to delivery, efficacy and accuracy of data?

Join this session to learn how leaders can: 

• Enable self-service insights and collaboration
• Grow the bottom line with data and analytics initiatives
• Instill a company culture that centers around data

According to Gartner, generative AI like ChatGPT promises to accelerate digital product delivery and improve operational efficiency more than any technology of the last 10 years. But to capitalize on this effort, organizations must have the proper foundation in place. Not only should data and analytics leaders be focused on the people, process and technology aspect of data governance but also on risk, security, transparency and ethics.

Join this roundtable discussion to explore:

• Tying governance initiatives to business objectives
• Creating an adaptive and scalable governance framework
• Identifying challenges and solutions when governing AI

Technical and analytical capabilities are growing each day, both for organizations internally and with external partners. To successfully integrate data and leverage data sharing via disparate sources, leaders must create data hubs to establish a flow of usage that incorporates governance and sharing demands.

Join this session to explore:

• Promoting and adopting a common data language
• Assessing governance and security of data sharing capabilities
• Establishing D&I strategies that improve processes and efficiencies
