Data & AI leadership masterclass: delivering value by design

Date

Thursday 15th October

Time

10:00am - 12:00pm BST, Networking from 9:30am

Location

Farringdon, London

Overview

Data and AI leaders are increasingly being challenged to prove the financial impact of the investment in their function. What costs have been saved? What risks have been reduced? What additional revenue can be directly attributed to data and AI investment?

Yet many data and AI functions still organise their work around technology, delivery and capability rather than the opportunities that create the most value and, importantly, align most closely with business objectives. As scrutiny increases, data and AI risk being seen as a cost centre rather than a driver of growth and performance.

Impact Thinking is a framework for changing that. It helps leaders identify the opportunities that matter most, embed intelligence into the way work gets done and measure the impact that follows.

In this interactive, in-person masterclass, Jason Foster will introduce the principles of Impact Thinking and show how leading organisations are using them to create measurable business impact through data and AI. You’ll be encouraged to bring your own challenges to the table, discuss them with other senior data and AI leaders under the Chatham House Rule and apply the framework to your own organisation.

You’ll learn

  • Building a data and AI function recognised for the value it creates
  • Identifying and prioritising the right opportunities
  • Focusing investment on measurable business outcomes
  • Embedding intelligence into decisions, workflows and operations
  • Measuring and communicating impact

Leave with a practical framework you can use to focus your efforts, create more value and build executive confidence in your data and AI function.
