• AI and Data Governance – Friends or Foes?

  The Buzz 1: Data governance the organizational framework…to understand where your data originated, how it was handled, and the goals your AI platform and machine learning models set out to achieve.” [https://www.datarobot.com/wiki/data-governance/] The Buzz 2: “Companies have tons and tons of data, but [success] isn’t about data collection, it’s about data management and insight.” [Prashanth Southekal at the Data for Business Performance Institute] The Buzz 3: “You can have all of the fancy tools, but if [your] data quality is not good, you're nowhere.” [Veda Bawo at Raymond James] Big data and artificial intelligence (AI) are accepted as key drivers for the digital transformation of organizations and today’s societies. To succeed with data-driven innovation, companies around the world need to develop an agile mindset and experiment with new technologies. However, with key concerns about data access and data quality in analytics and AI initiatives, applying data governance is often perceived as rigid and non-value adding. Is data governance an inhibitor suffocating technical innovation or a mandate that facilitates the success and further adoption of AI and machine learning (ML)? We’ll ask Christine Legner, Maria Villar and Wolfgang Epting for their take on AI and Data Governance – Friends or Foes?

  The Buzz 1: “We have a single mission: to protect and hand on the planet to the next generation.” (Francois Hollande) The Buzz 2: “It’s a collective endeavor, it’s collective accountability and it may not be too late.” (Christine Lagarde) The Buzz 3: “It angers me when sustainability gets used as a buzz word. For 90 percent of the world, sustainability is a matter of survival.” (Cameron Sinclair) The Buzz 4: “The greatest threat to our planet is the belief that someone else will save it.” (Robert Swan) Sustainability – “the new frontier of digital transformation” – is dominating business conversations from the C-suite to the front lines of customer service. The top challenges they’re talking about? De-carbonizing and eliminating waste. Driving meaningful social responsibility across supply chains. Moving to cloud platforms to integrate and extend applications across business networks and optimize growth and innovation. Enabling visibility of fragmented data for compliance, including ESG (Environment, Social and Governance) reporting, holistic steering, and supply chain transparency. The bottom line? Leaders and stakeholders want to understand what their businesses are doing—and what more they can do—to improve the health of the planet. Data-driven insights are essential for building that understanding to drive action and measure impact. We’ll ask SAP’s Frank Omare, Jennifer Beason and Japen Hollist for their take on Creating The Sustainable Enterprise In 2022 and Beyond.

  The Buzz: “Why doesn’t a company know that a target customer has connections to an existing customer?

• The Second Cloud Wave: Delivering Enterprise-Scale Intelligence

  The Buzz: On August 20, 2014, Maamar Ferkoun (AP IBM–Cloud Computing & Cognitive Technologies) wrote, “The flexibility and scalability of the cloud acts as an ideal complement to business intelligence activities. The ‘democratization’ of the cloud is now allowing organizations that have used business intelligence with on-premises applications and on a limited scale to reach a whole new level—all through the use of storage, networking and tools that can sift through big data…” (www.ibm.com) Indeed, in the last few years, we have seen a huge adoption of cloud native applications for both edge applications and line-of-business functions, yielding new insights, business agility and lower IT costs. In addition to migrating their ERP landscapes to the cloud to achieve those benefits, companies are adopting the latest best practices to eliminate in-house customization and to bring intelligence at scale into the enterprise. Done right, this can have immense impact on the speed, agility and intelligence that companies like yours can tap into, to win market share and optimize your ecosystem of suppliers and partners. We’ll ask Allan Coulter at IBM and Christian Thisgaard at SAP for their insights on the opportunities to exploit, as well as the pitfalls to avoid, in this business transformation. Tune in for The Second Cloud Wave Is Emerging: Delivering Enterprise-Scale Intelligence.
