Privacy Analytics

On the rapidly emerging main stage of data and analytics, the role of the CDO is one of the most challenging positions. CDOs have been evolving into data and analytics champions at a steady pace, with recent acceleration due to analytics programs maturing to include data science, machine learning and artificial intelligence. Today’s CDO is expected to not deliver on traditional needs, but respond to new and innovative opportunities. In this dinner, you’ll have a chance to talk with your CDO peers about how to put data to work, build the optimal team and get the most out of emerging technologies

Topic 1 - Putting Data and Analytics Principles to Work

  • Where are you on the descriptive, predictive, prescriptive analytics maturity continuum?
  • How can you increase the value of data that’s already being created?
  • What success and/or challenges have you had measuring ROI for a data analytics initiative?
  • How do we help our organizations effectively use data? Specifically, how do we encourage business leaders to move from gut-based decisions to data-based decisions?
  • Where does the analytics team fit into your organization? What is the optimal environment to ensure success for your analytics team?

After the first topic discussion, there will be a short break. Participants will then change tables for the second topic discussion.

Topic 2 - Getting Results With Emerging Technologies

  • When it comes to emerging technologies, where are you in your development process?
  • How are you applying new technologies to understand your customers?
  • What new technologies are you utilizing or looking at to keep your data in compliance and secure? 
  • How can companies move beyond pilot programs and get to scale?
  • How do we remove the fear factor surrounding artificial intelligence and other emerging technologies?

6:30pm - 7:00pm  Networking Break
