Main Day 2 - Thursday 22nd January

9:00 AM Opening Presentation – Engineering for the Future: Accelerating Value Through Strategic Data Product Design and Gen AI Implementation

By structuring a strategy into foundational, consolidated, and finished layers, businesses can unlock data product capabilities the organisation has never had before, quickly, and compliantly. This use-case based presentation by Adrian Pinder, Head of Digital and Data at DS Smith, will outline his team’s thought process when integrating Gen AI into their internal procurement data product. Their implementation strategy relied on:

Strategically determining where to incorporate Gen AI into their data product and assessing the value it would bring.
Putting in place a strong governance framework from the get-go.
Making sure their tools and structure were agile enough to manoeuvre through challenges that arose.
