• 9:50 am The Next Best Model for Data Projects(CIO UK Sit-Down) In this session Ari will explore a more project management based solution to data projects. He will consider the role of prioritisation in a variety of project types and how various industries would benefit from stepping away from solely AI based projections and using a stepped management style to tackle their data questions. If we know the right questions to ask, we can deliver better results - so does the customer know what they want and how can our teams ensure that we have communicated effectively enough to deliver that? This session will help us consider: What do we do when the AI fails to give us the context we need for a project to succeed? How can project management approaches help structure our data analysis for greater results? How can we put the customer at the centre of our analysis to ensure our projects deliver tangible results?
