5:00pm - 6:30pm Discussion Topics
Leading Digital, Data and Analytics in the Enterprise
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 and build the optimal team.
Putting Data and Analytics Principles to Work
- Where are you on the descriptive, predictive, prescriptive analytics maturity continuum? How are you taking the next step?
- In what ways are you monetizing data?
- How can you increase the value of data that’s already being created?
- How do you measure ROI for a data analytics initiative?
After the first topic discussion, there will be a short break. Participants will then change tables for the second topic discussion.
Putting Together the Right Talent and Teams
- Are you focused on building or buying data talent? What has worked?
- Does moving from a traditional model to a cloud platform change the way you staff or recruit?
- What is the optimal composition of a great analytics team?
- Where does the analytics team fit into your organization?
