About

Over the past decade, data has increasingly become a board-room discussion point and a strategic driver for companies. CIOs were first charged with building centralised data platforms and capabilities. Data resources often followed. 

Then followed a shift to data mesh-type of set-ups where data capabilities and teams were distributed back into the business lines to get closer to where business value is generated. This also increased fragmentation. 

Today, with easy access to GenAI in particular, business lines are experimenting with AI pilots and agents in pockets - often with mixed results and problems with scalability. 

Join Dr. Tor Bøe-Lillegraven for an informative discussion on getting data and AI right.

Tor is an experienced data and AI leader, most recently as Chief Data Officer Group Functions & Global Head of Data Management at Dutch multinational banking and FS giant ING. Previously Tor has held roles as Chief Data Officer & CISO at Royal Schipol Group and Global Head of Big Data at eBay, bringing with him a wealth of cross-industry, cross-functional, strategic and operational experience in successfully harnessing the power of data and AI.

We'll cover:
- The build/buy and central/local conundrum
- Structured vs unstructured data and forgotten value sources
- AI systems: the role of CIOs; scaling the broader AI system and its associated components 

CIOs and data leaders should join this session for proven and practical insight on how to overcome the barriers to unlocking and accelerating true value with data and AI.
