Overview:

From Data to Dollars: Building Growth-Driven Data and AI Strategy is a practical, engaging session designed for business leaders and data professionals who want to move beyond buzzwords and start delivering real value.

You’ll learn:

  • Why many data strategies fall short-and how to avoid those traps
  • How to connect data and data capabilities directly to growth, customer retention, and risk reduction
  • A proven framework for aligning data strategy with business goals
  • Business case studies that show how this alignment looks like for real life challenges
  • The role of AI and generative AI in today’s data landscape-and how to incorporate it effectively

This webinar is part wake-up call, part how-to guide, it’s packed with actionable takeaways you can start using immediately.

Why you should Attend:

Are you spending millions on data and AI and still not seeing results? You're not alone.
Most digital and AI transformation initiatives fail—not because of tech, but because the strategy wasn’t tied to business outcomes from the start.

  • Why digital and AI transformations fail more often than they succeed
  • What "data capabilities" are-and why they matter 
  • A practical framework to connect business goals with data initiatives
  • Real-life business case studies  of turning data strategy into measurable value
  • Where AI fits in-and how to think strategically about GenAI
