In this session he’ll explore how he’s been working to shift the enterprise conversation away from a technology centric view of “what can we do with our data”, to a business capability centric view of “how will we use our data” to compete and win in the new world of digital disruption. ]

Topics to be addressed will include:
  • Solving complex data problems by leveraging diverse teams and fostering a culture that is curious and courageous
  • Establishing a data science and data governance capability that underpins your business’ growth strategy
