Join one of our Insight Driven Organisation (IDO) Labs to understand the power of analytics, get a feel for our typical lab content and explore how your organisation can leverage this value. Our IDO Labs are designed to help you regardless of where you sit on the analytics maturity curve. They are fully customisable and can be used to either kick start your analytics journey, or used to revisit your existing one for a number of reasons. This 90 minute lunchtime session will give you a chance to attend a fully immersive virtual Lab to give you an insight as to what we would normally cover in one of our IDO Labs.

Vision and Culture
During today's IDO Lab we will discuss the importance of having a clear vision and go through an exercise to draft one. We will also showcase the importance of culture on the journey to becoming insight driven.

As companies progressively set net zero targets, executives are increasingly looking to understand decarbonisation pathways in their market in significant detail. The next step is to develop a strategy and transformation plan that speaks to investors, stakeholders, and the business.

The approach needs to include both a roadmap for decarbonisation of the existing asset base and carbon footprint, as well as ensuring that new growth, including the evolving business model, is designed in a way which is compatible with a net-zero future.

To support these ambitions, AI and advanced analytics have a crucial role to play in driving simulation models that enable transition scenarios to be played through on companies’ supply and demand, as well as their broader value chains. These simulations provide companies with a clear picture of the challenges they face, the opportunities available to them, the strategic possibilities, and help to shape the subsequent actions they could take.

Please come join us in this session where we want to discuss the strategic and business model questions your companies are facing as you look to a decarbonised future. The journey to net zero will be uncertain and unpredictable. We feel, however, that AI and advanced analytics can raise the chances of successful outcomes, navigating the markets and geographies in which you operate, by proactively designing business models to be climate-compatible.

Being an ethical and good earth citizen is a priority for individuals, for corporations and for governments alike. Customers want to align their buying decisions with their own values. Employees want to work for organisations which are ethically and socially responsible. There is increased demand for strategies, technologies and data-driven insights that can help achieve meaningful business and sustainability goals. Questions like: how do we enable better outcomes for customers, employees, partners and suppliers, when the reality is so uncompromising? How do we ensure radical transparency? How do we enable our people to make better, faster data-driven decisions? The answers are partly about investment in platforms and tools, but also about culture. In this session, Tableau’s Chris Lindsay, will share insights from their customers, partners and from within Salesforce, on improving corporate impact with data and embracing technology innovation as a force for good.

It is widely agreed that we are on the cusp of an era of ubiquitous Machine Learning - yet many organisations still struggle to get analytics out of the lab and into production. Similarly, we argue that many organisations have lavished attention on the algorithms that power digital transformation – and neglect the data that fuels the algorithms. During this session Teradata will discuss with leading financial organisations, what the biggest barriers to adopting machine learning are and how best to overcome them so that you can scale across your organisation. Teradata firmly believe that ML can only realise its full potential by taking the long view of digitalising your organisation and by joining this session you can expect to get an insight into real-world examples of industrialising ML and best-practices from Teradata and their priority customers.

Operating Models and Partnerships
Join us on Wednesday when we will explore different types of operating models to understand their key features and drivers that influence shifts from one model to another. We will also discuss the ecosystem of partners that can help you deliver your vision for analytics.

Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence have unlocked huge value for organisations able to leverage them successfully, increasing productivity by up to 40 percent. As more organisations consider the growth potential of these tools, significant questions about their underlying details have come into focus. While these questions originated with user concerns, they have been taken up more recently by governments, leading to the evolution of pending AI/ML regulation across the globe. Organisations implementing AI and ML now need to address aspects like explainability, fairness, accuracy, and consistency across models. Employing the right governance to monitor models, while ensuring data is trustworthy and accurate, is increasingly necessary for organisations to confidently use advanced analytics. Join Collibra alongside real clients and Deloitte as they discuss the importance of these and other topics in the world of AI and ML.

Building a business that is sustainable for a long period of time isn't easy. It requires reinvention—likely multiple times over. Only 50% of businesses who were on the Fortune 500 list in 2000 are still there today. To be a leader that's going to reinvent, you have to be maniacal, relentless, and tenacious about getting to the truth. Effective leaders rely on data to make decisions, look around corners, and take meaningful action. Organisations are overwhelmingly recognising that data is a key enabler of sustained innovation yet many organisations struggle to make the transformation. Successful organisations understand that becoming data-driven requires more than just technology, it requires a combination of mindset, people, process, and technology to activate data into the business, organise for innovation, and augment human activity with intelligence.
