This session will include a moderated Q&A featuring questions from the live audience.

In today’s rapidly evolving business landscape, senior data and analytics leaders face increasing pressure to demonstrate measurable value from their data initiatives. Traditional approaches to data strategy often prioritize technology selection, data governance, or infrastructure modernization without a clear alignment to business outcomes. While these efforts are foundational, they frequently fall short of delivering tangible, sustained impact.

In this talk, Amie Richards will equip attendees with actionable insights to transform their approach to data strategy development and execution. Key concepts will include:

• Understanding historical approaches: The evolution of data strategies and why traditional methodologies often fail to deliver sustained value.
• Components of a robust data strategy: The foundational elements required to build a comprehensive, business-aligned data strategy.
• Framework for value-driven data strategies: A practical approach to developing strategies that prioritize measurable outcomes, including how AI can enable faster insights and decision-making.
• From strategy to implementation: Guidance on transitioning from planning to execution, with strategies to accelerate value realization and maintain agility.

Join Richards for an engaging session that will empower senior leaders to redefine how they approach data strategy, ensuring that investments in analytics and data capabilities directly contribute to business success.
