Keynote:
From Data Rich to Insight Rich: How AI Driven Platforms Transform Complex Organisations and Tackle Systemic Inequalities
The Christie is on an ambitious journey to turn one of the richest health data assets in the world into meaningful, life improving insights for cancer patients. But the deeper story is one that resonates across industries: how organisations with fragmented data, legacy systems and rising demand can use unified platforms and responsible AI to deliver earlier decisions, personalised services and more efficient operations. By moving to a cloud based data platform and embedding AI across clinical and operational pathways, The Christie is demonstrating how leaders can rethink data foundations, governance, and partnerships to address deep rooted inequalities in access and outcomes. This keynote explores what every enterprise leader can learn from a sector where the stakes are highest - and where responsible AI is not optional.

• Enabling earlier prediction, risk stratification and personalised decision making across diverse populations through unified data platforms
• Showing how housing, public services and community partners can be integrated into AI driven operating models
• Shifting complex delivery closer to the customer while improving efficiency, safety and experience through AI-enabled service redesign
