Robert Johnson

Robert Johnson is a data and analytics leader whose work spans business problem framing, information design, governance, modern cloud data platforms and delivery. His approach treats architecture as a practical decision discipline, close enough to the business to understand consequences, close enough to engineering to test assumptions and clear enough for accountable leaders to choose.

Day 2 - Wednesday 20th January 2027

9:00 AM Opening Panel Discussion: AI, Automation and the Reality Gap

Organisations are investing heavily in AI and automation, but many initiatives remain disconnected from everyday work or struggle to demonstrate meaningful business value. As leaders move beyond experimentation, they must identify where automation genuinely improves outcomes, define the role of human judgement and establish clear governance around AI-enabled decisions.
• Separating valuable use cases from expensive experimentation
• Moving from isolated pilots to meaningful adoption across the business
• Deciding which decisions and tasks should be automated, and which require human oversight
• Establishing governance and accountability for AI-enabled outcomes
• Demonstrating value through productivity, decision quality and measurable business impact
