Data downtime is a significant challenge faced by organisations of all sizes and from all industries, resulting in lost revenue, missed opportunities, and reduced customer satisfaction. In this session, we’ll explore how you can prevent data downtime by combining a business-first approach to data governance with data observability and data quality programs.

We will explore:

• How to implement a data governance strategy that aligns with your organisation’s goals, priorities, and values, ensuring that your data is used effectively and efficiently.
• Modern approaches to data quality, including the use of data observability techniques to diagnose data issues before they become significant problems.
• How data governance initiatives, complemented by modern approaches to data quality and data observability, ensure data integrity and confidence in your decisions.

Niamh O’Brien, Lead Associate, Strategy & Operations, Fivetran

In this session we will discuss:

1. What defines a successful investment?
2. Real world examples of the best practices to realise value from Data?
3. How does Data Fluency and data tooling impact your teams?
4. Data Democratization & Data Governance; a symbiotic relationship

Dr Vidhyalakshmi Karthikeyan, Head of Data and Insights, YouView TV 

Creating good data for use cases you already know about is tough. Creating future-proof data for use cases yet unknown is tougher, especially when those who use the data may know nothing about how it was created.

This disconnect destroys trust in the data itself. Insights carry a long list of caveats that undermine their value in decision-making. Downstream applications carry an even longer list of workarounds that are unsustainable.

This talk will cover:

• Considerations in creating first-party data at scale from complex tech platforms like TVs and Set-Top-Boxes
• Practical ways of working to embed in an organisation to connect data consumers to data producers
• Technical solutions that foster and enforce the creation and evolution of good quality data products from inception to ingestion to transformation to consumption

What is the right ‘human’ mix for a data & analytics delivery team? Does it differ project to project? How to find and get the right mix to ensure successful delivery and skill transfer at the end of the project? 

In this session I will look at: 

• What type of data projects benefit from a Hybrid Team? 
• The unifying presence a 3rd party consultancy can bring to Data & Analytics Projects.

• How 3rd party consultants can help bridge the gap and deliver the strategy and desired business outcomes for data & analytics projects. 
• Addressing the challenges of bringing different departments together, the skills gaps and overcoming technology familiarity 
• How to get the mix right and build out the ‘resident’ humans skills 

Helping the ‘humans’ deliver the solutions – with technology delivering the functionality. 

Josh Wahnon, Data Scientist, WSP

Hertfordshire County Town Council were measuring traffic using human resources over thousands of miles of road. An application was developed that uses computer vision to identify vehicles and count them for automatic processing. Join Josh as he takes you through a short walkthrough of how computer vision was used to change how traffic levels are measured.

• Key learnings
• Effectively using cloud computing to introduce AI into large-scale projects

Megan Haughey Dooley, Data Evangelist and Inclusion Champion

As data rises to the top of the strategic agenda, how do we position ourselves to lead in a new and constantly shifting environment? Understanding the landscape, where you want to fit into it, and what your ideal organisation looks like will enable you to take the next step on your own career journey. Answering a number of questions will frame thinking:

• What does data strategy look like in your organisation – and is this the right strategy?
• Where do you fit in now – and where would you like to be next?
• And what will bridge the gap?
