4:00 PM Case Study: Laying the (Data) Foundations for Agentic AI in a Legacy Enterprise Environment

Agentic AI promises autonomous decision-making, real-time optimisation, and cross-functional intelligence but most organisations aren't ready. Not because of the technology but because of the data. Despite years of treating data as an "asset," many organisations still lack confidence in the quality, ownership, and structure of their data. It remains fragmented across functions, inconsistently governed, and rarely aligned to real business KPIs. This session explores what it actually takes to become a data-centric organisation and why this shift is the true prerequisite for agentic success.


• Define what "data-centric" really means and why it requires a fundamental shift in mindset 
• Identify the critical data that matters to your business (starting with KPIs, not systems) 
• Break down silos to enable cross-functional data flows that unlock real ROI 
• Build trust in your data through governance, ownership, and consistency 
• Lay the foundations for agentic use cases through structured, incremental steps, not big-bang transformation
