The role of the data team is changing. Instead of focusing purely on data infrastructure, data leaders are now responsible for the core strategy across their organization and are expected to deliver increasing value from data. After a decade of working with organizations from across the globe, we’ve developed best-in-class practices to increase your data sophistication and drive more value from your data. 

Join us to discover:

• What does good data for AI look like? AI powered by the right data is highly effective but what tools can you use to confidently collect the best quality data from your platforms?
• How creating your own first-party, proprietary behavioral data on how your customers use your digital products and services drives significant competitive advantage
• Aspirational case studies from your peers, including the common pitfalls we’ve seen across the industry, and our most exciting success stories.

Data governance practices and disciplines have been inherent in a number of organizations for many years, but the evolving regulatory landscape has compelled organizations to scrutinize and optimize how they store, manage and process data and create a roadmap of activity. Organizations are seeking an overarching approach to data governance to manage the people, processes and technologies involved in data initiatives in a more modern way.

Agile development is commonly adopted by data product and engineering teams, but how can an insights team leverage it to provide more valuable support by enabling faster and better business decisions?  In this session, you will hear about how our team put the Agile manifesto in practice: Individuals and interactions, customer collaboration, working software, responding to change.

Take aways:

• Agile analytics for insights is not about following an agile framework, process, or ceremonies, it is about how teams work together to build thought partnership type of collaborations to realize values faster.
• Be immersed in stakeholder teams to provide not only actionable insights, but also recommendations on business solutions.
• Experimentation promotes nimbleness to pivot quickly based on insights-driven learning 

There is no such thing as the average customer anymore. This is an industry-agnostic truth that underscores the importance of access to timely, hygienic data. This session, led by Mariam Tareen, Senior Director, Product Management, Walmart Data Ventures, will focus on how Walmart Data Ventures productized and commercialized its rich first-party data assets to unlock meaningful, actionable intelligence, and accelerate insights to action.
