Session Topic: The Executive Playbook for AI Ready Data Strategy
Strategico is excited to take part in the UST Education webinar series, where Daniel Elacqua, CEO, and Christopher Maynard, Senior CIO Consultant, will present The Executive Playbook for AI Ready Data Strategy. The session is for association leaders who want to get their organizations ready for AI that is responsible, scalable, and high impact.
UST Education's webinar series gives association professionals free education on the topics that matter most to their organizations. Attendees can also earn CAE and CPE credit.
As organizations speed up their use of AI, many find that weak data management and unclear governance are the biggest barriers to success. Daniel and Chris will share a practical playbook for building the data foundations AI depends on, and for moving from scattered data to governed, trustworthy information that leaders can use to make decisions. They'll also cover how to prioritize investments, avoid costly missteps, set up effective data leadership and accountability, and keep control across complex vendor and integration ecosystems.
During the session, attendees will:
- Identify the leadership structures, accountability models, and investment priorities needed to support scalable and responsible AI adoption.
- Assess their organization's data management and governance maturity in relation to AI readiness and enterprise risk.
- Apply practical methods for measuring the business and mission impact of data governance and AI investments.
- Learn how to connect data and AI investments to measurable outcomes, including efficiency, growth, and risk reduction.
