In this practical, insight-rich session, we’ll cut through the noise surrounding AI and get real about how AI innovation can actually happen at your company. You’ll learn how to move fast — from idea to impact — using rapid prototypes that show, not tell, what AI can do for your business. We’ll explore the messy but essential process of figuring out what data you really need, how to get started without waiting to jump through all the security and IT hoops, and how to turn AI from a buzzword into a practical, repeatable value driver. Expect real-world examples, actionable lessons, and a clear-eyed look at what works — and what doesn’t.

 

Key Takeaways:

•            Form a path to deliver real results, not just “play with AI”

•            Understand how to get your security & IT processes off the critical path and get started quickly

•            Demystify how AI is applicable to your job / business and how it can help you rethink the way you work

Almost half of workers struggle to find the data they need to effectively do their jobs, as a result wasting time and adding to the information burden organizations face. To effectively build and scale models, you need to have available, clean data –and everyone knows your insights are only as good as your data. It is time to treat data as a true enterprise resource and take control of it. 

  

Together, we will dive into the importance of good and clean data and best practices for strong data management execution to ensure it remains available, of quality and secure. Workshop leaders will demonstrate how you can: 

• Define data ownership  
• Establish data quality standards  
• Implement security protocols to safeguard information  
• Create and iterate your data-driven strategy to best inform automation decisions  
• Empower automation teams to build effective solutions  
• Incorporate ethically responsible approaches to data 

  

Bring your top data challenges to the table and engage in discussions to solve real life scenarios that will offer actionable takeaways you can put into practice in your own organization.
