August 05, 2025 9:00 AM - 2:00 PM

Description

In today’s fast-moving business landscape, quickly and accurately transforming data into actionable insights is critical for maintaining a competitive edge. However, as data grows in volume and complexity, many organizations face mounting challenges in making timely, high-impact decisions. Achieving strong ROI from analytics requires more than the right technology; it demands a culture that supports fast, informed decision-making across the enterprise.

This event tackles the tension between speed and accuracy in data-driven decision-making, highlighting common obstacles such as data silos, inconsistent governance, and limited analytical capacity. Attendees will explore overcoming these barriers through streamlined processes, strategic alignment, and a focus on building enterprise-wide analytical fluency. Participants will leave better equipped to balance urgency with quality in a way that accelerates progress and minimizes costly missteps.

Featured speaker Ben Schein, SVP of Product at Domo, brings a unique dual perspective as a practitioner and strategist. He’ll share practical insights on engaging teams around the value of data, distinguishing between “real-time” and “right-time” analytics, and fostering a culture that moves at the speed of business. Through expert guidance and peer discussion, this session offers tangible tools to help you unlock greater value from your data and make smarter decisions, faster.
