What is AI Without DATA? The New Convergence of Data; the Next Strategic Business Advantage
DATA is the central asset of your company. The growth of data has accelerated beyond even the opportunistic forecast of a few years ago. The new definition of convergence is very different from even a decade ago.

The new trends of Big Data, Data Science, Cloud, AI, Mobility and IoT are changing how organizations are using data. It is now a critical business asset.

New business processes will revolve around the data and it will soon become even more intensive through massive streaming data coming from ubiquitous sensors in the Internet of Things. Variety, not volume or velocity will drive the investments. During this session you will see how the data has become a strategic business advantage and its value will only increase in the next decade.

In this presentation we focus on the 5 Steps to planning a successful Agile transformation that you can take back and apply all at once or one by one over time.

Making Data-Driven Decisions in the Face of Disruption, Innovation and Uncertainty
Business has always meant taking some risks, but today, disruption, digitization and innovation have pushed uncertainty beyond our ability to humanly process. Now what?

This session introduces how modern AI techniques combined with wisdom of teams’ expertise can actually prescribe guidance for the hardest strategy and execution questions. How many quarters out are we 80% confident against digital disruption? What is the 60% likely ROI for an innovation investment effort? How likely are we to make the deadline?
