Explore how leading enterprises turn analytics into strategic advantage – not dashboards, but decisions that change spend, speed and risk. Panellists compare what worked, what didn’t, and how GenAI changes the craft: data products, operating cadence, attribution, and guard-rails that satisfy Legal and Finance. Leave with patterns to replicate in your own context.

This session will explore
  • Executive metrics and attribution that secure funding and prove value.
  • Operating models – from use-case intake to product ownership and change.
  • Data, GenAI and governance – privacy, bias controls, audit trails, policy-as-code.
  • Building trust with Finance, Legal and business – decision architecture that sticks.
Learning objectives
  • Know which ROI, risk and cycle-time metrics CFOs pay attention to.
  • Copy a panel-tested operating cadence – intake, prioritisation, releases, adoption.
  • Evaluate GenAI opportunities in analytics with clear guard-rails and owner roles.
  • Translate analytics to funded decisions with a simple attribution narrative.

Why this is on the agenda

Headcount remains tight while expectations for productivity and transparency rise. CFOs demand measurable returns; regulators tighten rules on AI, pay and disclosures. Leaders need analytics that shortens decision cycles, reduces risk, and funds growth – without eroding trust or privacy.
