Aligning Decentralised Data and AI Capabilities with Enterprise Strategy

As AI capabilities become embedded across SaaS platforms, organisations are rethinking how they balance business-led innovation with enterprise governance. Join senior data and AI leaders to discuss the operating models, guardrails and cost controls needed to scale AI effectively. 

Discussion Questions:  

• How are organisations defining the role of central data and AI teams when business functions can build analytics, data products and agents within SaaS platforms? 
• What governance, architecture and investment guardrails prevent duplication and fragmentation without blocking business-led innovation? 
• How are organisations maintaining visibility, ownership and consistent standards for data quality, security, compliance and AI governance? 
• What approaches are proving most effective for measuring, forecasting and controlling the cost of GenAI capabilities within SaaS platforms? 

 Who should attend:  

This session is designed for senior data and AI leaders who:  

• Leaders directly responsible for enterprise data, AI, architecture or governance, with experience of operating models spanning central and business-unit teams 
• Organisations using multiple major ERP, CRM, HCM or SaaS platforms where native data, analytics and AI capabilities are being adopted.
