The Double Helix: Humanising Data Science and Artificial Intelligence
Many stakeholders report that siloed thinking and overly technical training is holding organisations back. When leaders do try to mix things up, organisational dynamics, existing skillsets and ingrained professional identities tend towards inertia. This impacts the ability to lead successful data science and artificial intelligence projects.
Drawing on running a large humanitistic training programme at a world-class science, technology and medicine university, with 12,000 successful completions so far, Dr Michael Weatherburn will discuss lessons learnt over the years, in terms of skills, mindsets and leadership approaches. Particularly discussed will be training in governance, ethics, and communications.

Reimagining Teamwork: Driving Outcomes through AI and Strategic Alignment
In recent decades, technology has accelerated change cycles like never before, and the quick ascent of AI is raising the bar yet again. This implies that businesses must be in a constant state of strategic and organisational realignment to stay ahead of the curve.
But getting from strategy to action to outcomes is harder than it should be. For leaders and executives, sleep often evades them as they ponder: How are we tracking to goals? Do we have the right teams in place? Are our priorities being funded effectively?
Join Matt Schvimmer, a seasoned general manager and product executive, for an insightful keynote focused on empowering leaders to maintain strategic priorities and cultivate a culture of continuous innovation

AI for MDM and MDM for AI: Building a Trustworthy Data Foundation
In this talk, we will explore the critical interdependence between Master Data Management (MDM) and Artificial Intelligence (AI). As organisations strive to harness the power of AI, the importance of high-quality, well-managed data becomes paramount. Conversely, AI technologies can significantly enhance MDM processes, driving better data governance, quality, and insights.
We will delve into how MDM provides the foundational data integrity and consistency required for effective AI implementations. Additionally, we will discuss how AI can automate and optimise MDM tasks, such as data cleansing, matching, and classification, leading to more efficient and accurate data management.
