Learn how leading organizations in the world and inspiring leaders are using Data Analytics to make decisions
Today more than ever, organizations are working with Data Analytics to drive their business. Innovation and new technologies are creating massive opportunities and also, unprecedented challenges.
How can you champion your Analytics strategy? How can you onboard your teams and grow new skills to beat the competition? How do you ensure reliable Analytics to make trusted decisions? How do you align IT and Business and break analytics siloes?
IT and Business are like an old couple arguing over the color to paint a wall, all while both wanting the same thing: to feel good at home. Analogies aside, organizations need to develop a data culture across all departments to truly foster data-driven decision-making.

Analytics Governance RECORDING – 45MIN
Analytics Governance: The Weak Link In Your Data Governance
DataOps is enabling organizations to be more agile in their data processes, but many organizations fail to extend that approach to their analytics. The same desire for agility suggests that organizations need to adopt AnalyticsOps. Many organizations and vendors are talking about DataOps and attempting to address the requirements needed to support that approach. However, very few organizations or vendors are addressing the requirements for AnalyticsOps. In much the same way that data governance and analytics governance need to come together, DataOps and AnalyticOps need to come together. They really shouldn’t be separate at all.
In this keynote presentation, hear what our research shows about how a lack of Analytics governance impedes business processes and jeopardizes an organization. Learn how to overcome these challenges and what the benefits might be of developing Analytics Governance models.

Data Storytelling RECORDING – 30MIN
Data Storytelling: Decentralizing your analytics and empowering non-technical users
“Do you want me to sketch it out for you?” We’ve all heard that sentence before. Corporate data is often abstract and difficult to understand. They need to be simplified and put into context to become actionable. Data Storytelling is the answer to these problems, so let’s discover its multiple applications!
Data Storytelling is the ability to tell a story with data and to personalize the data seen according to the audience. We all love stories. Whatever their context, they allow you to convey a message or complex information in a playful way and well-scripted. Where data is available, the aim is to use these figures to communicate and make the information easier to digest. We must be able to put these data in a narrative context.

Metaverse RECORDING – 30MIN
The Metaverse and Analytics: how can decision-makers harness the Metaverse for their organizations?
The Metaverse is popularized in science fiction, and now it is becoming closer to being a part of our daily lives through the use of social media and shopping companies. How can businesses survive in a world where Artificial Intelligence is becoming the present as well as the future of technology, and how does the Metaverse fit into business strategy when futurist ideas are developing into reality at accelerated rates? How do we do this when our Business Intelligence isn’t up to scratch? How can we move towards success with our data so we are set up for the Metaverse when it arrives?
How can you help your company to evolve, adapt and succeed using Artificial Intelligence and the Metaverse to stay at the forefront of the competition? What are the potential issues, complications, and benefits that these technologies could bring to us and our organizations? In this session, Jen Stirrup will explain how to start thinking about these technologies as an organization.

Data Culture RECORDING – 25MIN
Data Culture eats Data Strategy for breakfast!
The Covid pandemic has brought many challenges and changes for companies. One effect is the acceleration of the transformation to data-driven enterprises.
At the same time, it is becoming increasingly clear that a positive data culture in the company is a key success factor for this transformation, but many organizations are still finding it very difficult to implement it in practice.
Carsten Bange will present a framework that helps companies to structure and concretely address the somewhat elusive topic of data culture.

DataOps RECORDING – 40MIN
How DataOps Can Supercharge Your Analytics Agility
Despite having world-class Data Engineers and the industry’s best-in-class toolchain, why is it still so hard to answer analytic questions?
It’s easy to blame your staff or tools, but the lack of analytics agility is most likely due to poor processes and workflows.
In this session, DataKitchen CEO & Head Chef Chris Bergh will share how a DataOps ‘Process Hub’ can centralize and optimize the processes that act upon data for the purpose of rapidly answering questions and quickly deploying high-quality insight.
Chris will also share an example of how a large pharma company was able to deliver high-quality analytics at a faster rate with fewer Business Analysts thanks to their DataOps ‘Process Hub’.
