Data analytics meets privacy

There has been much work done, by academics and product designers on data visualisation. But relatively little attention has been paid to the overall analytic experience - how users discover the features, orient themselves and then make use of their discoveries.
 
Tune into this session from industry thought leader Donald Farmer as he explores some very useful behavioral patterns which enable us to create a more engaging and decision-oriented analytic experience. The webinar will further consider how these patterns can be applied in tools for analytics specialists, business users and when embedded in operational applications.

Analyzing the analytic user experience

In the world of big data, the importance of data visualization and related technologies cannot be stressed enough. These tools play a crucial role in transforming raw data into easily comprehensible forms, stripping away unnecessary noise, and highlighting valuable insights that tell a compelling story. Effective data visualization is an art that requires a delicate balance between aesthetics and functionality. Data and visuals must come together to work in such a manner where the combination of analysis and storytelling make a powerful imprint and convey the right message.

But just as a coin has two sides, a foundational understanding of data visualization tools is essential for swiftly grasping data trends, outliers, and patterns. In this presentation, Dr. Sue Tripathi will explore: 
- What data visualization is and why is it important today. 
- How to create accessible data visualizations.

Ethical considerations in data-driven decision making

In today’s era of digital disruption, extending automation with AI capabilities, also known as intelligent automation (IA), remains on the agenda of C-suite executives. Enterprise leaders are recognizing that automation and AI technologies have the potential to transform productivity, improve accuracy, reduce costs, and improve customer and employee experiences. Extending automation with AI opens the door to driving further exponential impact in terms of accelerated innovation, higher revenue, better efficiency and enhanced experience for customers and employees.

By virtue of being at the intersection of process automation & AI, IA brings increased benefits. However, IA can also increase execution complexities. To successfully adopt and extend automation capabilities with AI, more than just the technical implementation is required – a holistic approach is required to achieve and sustain breakthrough value. Organizations need to navigate across process centric automation and data and machine learning centric AI for what may appear to be a minefield of complexities and dependencies – such as mapping business challenges to processes, incorporating business process optimization, having high data quality, creating integrated AI & automation governance, and having the right expertise in ML and MLOps, to name a few.

Extending automation with AI capabilities

In recent years, there has been a significant and rapid shift in how organizations in the Life Sciences, Bio pharma, and Medical Device sectors prioritize digital transformation.

The Life Science Industry, in particular, has emerged as a frontrunner in digital disruption, transitioning from basic healthcare services to digital therapeutics and connected care. The COVID-19 pandemic has further accelerated the evolution of the healthcare landscape. Patient data sharing has increased, patients themselves are demanding greater engagement in their care, and non-pharmaceutical interventions are increasingly being utilized to treat various diseases. This heightened awareness of the future of health has prompted enterprise leaders in the industry to scale up and accelerate their automation and AI initiatives. However, without a well-defined strategy and approach, organizations may encounter stagnation in their digital transformation efforts.

To overcome these challenges, leading Life Sciences organizations have turned to AI-powered automation as a means to enable growth and success. This approach involves leveraging advanced technologies such as Generative AI, Machine Learning, Natural Language Processing, computer vision, and Robotic Process Automation to enhance the efficiency of automated processes.

By incorporating AI into automation workflows, organizations can empower their technology to make intelligent decisions, perform cognitive tasks, and automate non-rules-based processes. This not only opens up numerous opportunities for innovation but also presents new challenges.

Join Deloitte Consulting's leaders, Bhavish Madurai and Prashanth Sivadasan, to learn the importance of choosing the right capability model, engaging successfully with the business, and creating the right approach for demand generation. They will also dig into the keys to success and lessons for scaling and accelerating AI and automation programs across Life Sciences organizations.

Crowdfunding is a new frontier for financial service firms; but one that holds great promise for providing extended value to all of a financial service firm’s clients. For the firm’s issuer clients, crowdfunding is a relatively new, and often effective, way to raise capital for the issuer. For the firm’s investor clients, it is a chance for investors that were not able to access parts of the equity markets previously, to reach those markets and investments now. It’s also a more effective and efficient way for all investors to find and access different types of alternative investments.

The crowdfunding that will be discussed in this webinar is equity crowdfunding, as opposed to donation-based crowdfunding. The differences between these two major types of crowdfunding will be discussed, along with the unique characteristics and benefits of equity crowdfunding.

This presentation will also discuss how the use of Alternative Asset Classes and individual Alternative Assets can substantially increase portfolio returns while reducing portfolio risk. Alternative investments can be delivered by means of digital platforms such as crowdfunding platforms.

Here are some of the topics which will be discussed:
1. The different types of crowdfunding.
2. Equity versus donation-based crowdfunding.
3. The unique characteristics and benefits of equity crowdfunding.
4. Regulation CF crowdfunding.
5. Non- regulation CF crowdfunding.
6. How to get into the crowdfunding business.
7. Alternative investments – what they are and how to use them?
8. Increasing portfolio returns and reducing portfolio risk with alternative investments.
9. Putting alternative investments on crowdfunding platforms.
