Data is the foundation of any organization and therefore, it is paramount that it is managed and maintained as a valuable resource. 

Subscribe to this channel to learn best practices and emerging trends in a variety of topics including data governance, analysis, quality management, warehousing, business intelligence, ERP, CRM, big data and more.

Enterprise Strategy Group Distinguished Analyst Jon Oltsik Presents: 

From skills shortages to nuanced cyber-attacks, cybersecurity leaders have well-documented challenges that threaten the successful protection of their business. Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) has burst onto the scene promising a long list of potential applications, with cybersecurity improvement touted among them. This session will explore cybersecurity use cases, including those employed by Security Operations Analyst for threat detection and response purposes.

Cybersecurity GenAI Use Cases

Enterprise Strategy Group Practice Director and Principal Analyst Paul Nashawaty Presents: 

Application developers are challenged with efficiently creating innovative solutions while managing time constraints, which can be mitigated by the transformative impacts of generative artificial intelligence (AI) streamlining code generation and accelerating development processes. Organizations have integrated generative AI (GenAI) into their operational setup to accelerate code creation, refine code structures, elevate code quality, and deliver personalized customer experiences. By harnessing GenAI, application developers tackle issues by capitalizing on the technology’s ability to automate tasks, drive creativity, and deliver innovative solutions.

The Role of GenAI in Application Development

Enterprise Strategy Group Senior Analyst Jonathan Brown Presents: 

A common criticism of AI is its high potential to increase carbon footprints due to its heavy compute requirements. As a result, sustainability has risen to become a critical consideration for nearly all organizations. This session will explore how organizes balance deploying AI-ready infrastructure with well-defined sustainability requirements and the metrics designed to monitor energy-intensive AI environments.

Deploying Sustainable AI Infrastructure

Enterprise Strategy Group Principal Analyst Mike Leone Presents:

The larger and more accurate the data set, the more effective the AI model. However, the road leading to that seemingly simple goal is strewn with roadblocks that pose substantial challenges for many organizations. Data experts and data quality tools and techniques to ensure the quality and accuracy of collected data while also assuring data is compliant with industry regulations is critical. This session will explore these considerations as well as how moving huge data sets to AI is also subject to service level agreements.

AI Data Quality, Compliance, and Infrastructure Requirements

In an era where artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming industries and reshaping the way we live and work, striking the delicate balance between innovation and data privacy compliance is paramount. This session delves into the evolving landscape of AI, discussing how businesses can harness its power while safeguarding sensitive data and adhering to privacy regulations. Explore the challenges, ethical considerations, and strategies that are shaping the future of AI in a privacy-conscious world.

In this session, you will: 
1. Recognize how AI is reshaping industries and business operations, presenting exciting opportunities for innovation.
2. Understand the increasing concern regarding data privacy as AI systems rely on vast amounts of personal and sensitive information.
3. Gain insights into navigating the complex regulatory landscape, including GDPR and CCPA, to ensure compliance in AI projects. 
4. Explore ethical concerns such as bias, fairness, and transparency in AI development and their intersection with data privacy.
5. Learn about strategies and best practices for maintaining a balance between AI innovation and data privacy, building trust with consumers, and staying compliant.

Data Privacy and the Future of AI: Balancing Innovation and Compliance

Most organizations use Microsoft Teams (or the equivalent toolsets from Zoom or Cisco Webex) for internal collaboration. But while Teams may be the de-facto standard, it’s hardly the last word in effective collaboration. 

This webinar introduces exciting examples of next-generation collaboration applications.

Beyond Microsoft Teams: Emerging Collaboration Applications

The collaboration application landscape is rapidly changing. Generative AI offers the potential to improve productivity and streamline employee engagement. New apps are quickly arriving that aim to bridge the home and office employee divide. And, employee experience platforms offer new ways to share information and establish employee relationships no matter the location. 

In this webinar, we'll share the top five emerging collaboration applications and what IT and business leaders need to do to ensure success.

Emerging Collaboration Applications

The tectonic shifts in today's business landscape call for more than just a repackaging of old operational models. A fragmented technology landscape and a laser focus on transactional efficiency won't cut it. What's needed is a paradigmatic shift -- a symbiosis of people, data, automation, and AI -- that activates continuous growth. This is the fundamental operational challenge, and also the most transformative opportunity, that confronts businesses across industries today.

Join Mark from Monitor Deloitte's Strategy Practice, a pioneer in AI Business Strategy and TMT advisory, as he decodes the role of Large Language Models (LLMs) in this transformation. LLMs serve as the 'Cognitive Connective Tissue,' intricately weaving isolated tasks and broader strategic outcomes into a unified tapestry. This goes far beyond operational streamlining; it redefines how cognitive and financial capital are allocated, fundamentally rethinking return on invested capital (ROIC).

This session will delve into real-world examples to demonstrate the multiplicative value creation potential of LLMs, from predictive analytics to real-time customer engagement. Mark will also introduce the ancient concept of 'Metis,' representing the balance between human ingenuity and machine efficiency, and discuss the pivotal 'efficiency vs. explainability' trade-offs that become increasingly relevant as tasks atomize.

Redesigning Productivity in the Age of Cognitive Acceleration

Machine learning is the most efficient known way to create software models that solve real-world problems. When trained correctly, ML models can know more than any human who ever lived, explain or summarize anything, and find patterns in the data that world-class experts have been missing for decades. But what happens when you train these incredible artificial brains by feeding them noise?

In this talk, we will explore both directions of this noise problem:
- What does AI "learn" when you train it in an unsupervised way, using data that hasn't been scrubbed beforehand?
- What do humans learn when the information that surrounds them is 90% noise, including noise that was produced by AI?

In the process, we will work together to articulate a new paradigm of AI that applies to everything from news media to business intelligence tools -- a paradigm that emphasizes quality over quantity, and focuses on removing bad inputs to produce better outputs.

Weaponized AI and GPT: Updating data center security practices

The arrival of ChatGPT was a culture-altering event that upended business strategies and made AI a priority in IT planning. But ChatGPT and similar generative AI tools, with their large language models and uncanny talent for human-like communication and analysis, have complicated the AI picture. It can be hard for business and IT leaders to understand their options and make good choices.

Few areas seem more suited to AI-based automation and decision making than the supply chain with all its challenges and complexities. AI has long been touted as a way to improve predictive analytics and make supply chains more responsive by optimizing demand planning, inventory management, logistics and other key processes. Now generative AI promises unheard-of levels of intelligent automation.

In this in-depth discussion, speakers will explain AI types and terminology and their implications for supply chain management. Avoiding rosy scenarios, they'll zero in on the following:

- Where AI is making a difference in supply chains today
- How to sort through the hype and choose AI apps that add real value
