CDAO Town Hall 2024 - Chicago (A) | Evanta, a Gartner Company | 8 February 2024 | Virtual

Managing Your Data Estate - Putting AI To Work Instead of Play

Participate with your CDAO peers in the Chicago community in small, breakout discussions on a mission-critical priority for data leaders. These informal discussions allow you to share your insights and learn from the lessons, approaches and experiences of a diverse group of peers in virtual breakout rooms.

Join fellow CDAOs in the Chicago community to discuss:
• Foster a Strong Data and Analytics Function Through Leadership and Influence
• Restructuring Data Strategy and Governance to Responsibly Deploy Generative AI
• Enhance Data Literacy Across the Organization to Drive Business Value

Having connected, informed, intelligent and responsive data is the aspiration for properly transforming your organization. Yet data siloes, disconnected systems, and incongruent data inhibit this organizational nirvana. Combine that with how much focus is now set on GenAI and there's an even bigger hill to climb.

Instead, how do you take the hype and capabilities around AI to build a broader data estate, regardless of the business unit, system or cloud that it resides? Join this session with your CDAO peers to discuss:
• Creating the most effective ecosystem and adopting new GenAI capabilities
• Maximizing your data, analytics, and AI investments
• Simplifying how you leverage data fabric and AI
