In the age of AI, machine learning, and "data first," how do we really solve business problems with lasting solutions? In the age of "agile," how can we make sure we achieve the ultimate outcomes we need? In the age of "digitization," how do we keep the human at the center?

This session will cover: 

• A data-driven organization is one where technology and data enable people
• As "data" people, we need to move from building a "report" to designing how information is used in the actual flow of our clients or our colleagues
• This session will provide practical examples of moving from a "data first" approach to an "information flow" approach to design
• How to use a capability mindset that eliminates that last-minute scramble for "reporting" to support operations
• A functional view of solving business problems and not a technical presentation
