Agenda Day 1

3:30 PM THINK TANK | BRIDGE THE GAP: ALIGN TECH VISION WITH BUSINESS KPIs TO DRIVE REAL RESULTS

CDOs step up to the challenge, and bridge technical data expertise with solid business objectives to drive both innovation and growth.

Discuss how drafting clear joint KPIs with respective business units may clear red tape faster.
Alongside your peers, design a repeatable PoC cycle template that you can use to accelerate aligned future projects.
Share how narrative storytelling often plays a role in demonstrating value proposition that keep board scepticism at bay.
