Leaders Roundtable: Building a Strategic Roadmap for Scaling AI Adoption

It is time for organisations to evolve beyond the initial hype of Generative AI, to prioritise practical business outcomes, assess costs, and integrate AI comprehensively.

Organisations set for AI success recognise AI as more than a technological breakthrough – and more a means to transform business operations, impacting digital transformation strategies.

Ecosystm research finds that among organisations in Singapore:

  • 68% are looking to enhance their data & AI capabilities in 2024
  • 84% think that chatbots/virtual assistants is the biggest use case for AI
  • 60% are challenged with identifying the starting point of their AI journeys

To understand the readiness for AI adoption in organisations, Ecosystm and IBM have designed an AI Readiness Barometer.

We invite you to join us and other technology leaders to this invitation-only session where we will:

  • Provide data-backed insights on the latest trends, technologies, and methodologies in AI adoption
  • Exchange insights on AI adoption strategies, challenges, and best practices
  • Delve into industry-specific AI use cases, sharing information on successful implementations and identifying potential applications

This session also gives you an opportunity to benchmark your AI progress against your peers and industry standards on key criteria such as:

  • Robustness of your AI-first strategy
  • Maturity of data measures to support AI initiatives
  • Leadership support and AI skills
  • AI Governance framework

Leaders Roundtable: The High-Stakes Reality Check: Can Your Data Support Your AI Ambitions?

The Financial Services industry has a lot to gain from leveraging Data and AI technologies to enhance innovation and client value.

With multiple use cases, such as improving customer experience, automating AML/KYC processes, offering personalised solutions and services, fraud detection, and streamlining operations, business and technology leaders in the industry have much to be excited about.

Ecosystm research shows that in the Financial Services industry:

  • 87% of organisations are leveraging Data and AI to enhance customer experience – including personalisation and conversational AI
  • 80% are evaluating ways to achieve process automation across multiple operations
  • 50% are looking at advanced AI for better fraud detection

However, despite the potential benefits, many Data and AI projects fail to deliver long-term business value, making it challenging for leaders in the industry. Leaders in the industry must overcome several challenges such as:

  • Converting proofs of concept to actual scalable implementations
  • Setting quantifiable KPIs to evaluate the business value of these projects
  • Deploying an end-to-end AI and Data strategy that focuses on architecture, integration, data management, and data governance

How do Financial Leaders overcome these challenges? Which emerging Data and AI technologies can bring business value to Financial Services organisations? Why should organisations view Data and AI projects through a change management lens? Join me and your industry peer for a meaningful discussion on the way forward for the Financial Services leader.

Leaders Roundtable: Revolutionising Data Management: Streamlining Governance and Automation for Maximum Business Benefit

With economic headwinds, increased pressure to reduce headcount, and the ever-growing rate of digital transformation, businesses and technology leaders are embracing data, AI, and automation to achieve more with less.

But how do we ensure that the data we collect, store, and use is secure and in compliance with regulations?

Ecosystm research finds that in Singapore:

  • More than 40% of organisations will revisit their data and AI strategy in 2023, particularly to improve employee productivity and promote innovation
  • Nearly 60% of technology leaders assume that their organisations will get breached
  • 78% of these leaders feel that there is limited understanding of risks, leading to a lack of data governance and internal policies

Discovering, observing, and monitoring data remain a major challenge. Traditional data governance often fails as complexity drives poor behaviours. And as organisations build out their AI algorithms and capabilities, it is important to be able to govern the AI to deliver trusted outcomes.

At the same time, with the tight employment market and hiring freezes, access to the right skills to manage and govern data, and create the data-driven outcomes, become challenging.

It is time to think of innovative solutions to simplify governance, reduce risk, and turn data into a valuable asset.

Join us and your industry peers to discuss:

  • How data observability can be improved, meeting AI governance requirements
  • Overcoming skills challenges to create data-driven outcomes
  • The potential of low/no-code solutions to empower the business and drive value creation

5 Sustainability Actions for BFSI Tech Leaders

5/5 (2)

5/5 (2)

Leading Banking and Financial Services organisations play a crucial role in financing sustainability transition. They have the infrastructure and resources to kickstart their own sustainability journey. But beyond that, they also have a greater role in building a sustainable value chain. 

This extends to helping the traditional economy to transition; green investments to promote organisations with the right intentions; and empowering their customers to make environmentally-friendly choices.

As a technology leader in BFSI, you are an integral part of your organisation’s sustainability journey. Here are 5 ways in which BFSI tech leaders can support their organisations to turn sustainability intentions into reality.

Align tech with business goals and strategy. Think like a business leader and understand larger goals beyond technology deployments to empower your team.

View reporting as more than a checklist. You are in an ideal position to demonstrate the value of data insights beyond reporting mandates to the leadership team – link them to larger business outcomes.

Build intelligence into your facilities and assets. Consider investing in an intelligent enterprise asset management solution to automate asset and infrastructure management, remotely monitor and manage asset operations, and achieve sustainable business outcomes.

Automate your infrastructure allocation. You are increasingly using FinOps tools and other predictive analytics dashboards for cost and resource optimisation – extend the use for greater energy efficiency.

Understand your organisation’s unique sustainability journey. Seek independent opinion from third parties to empower your organisation to take the first step in the sustainability strategy, derive insights from data assets, and create market differentiation.

Leaders Roundtable: Accelerating Your Outcomes: Smart Integration & Automation in Your Business

Business technology systems and platforms are increasing in complexity.

The past few years have seen business leaders embrace digital systems – implementing new systems and tools to rapidly solve business and customer challenges. But this investment has come with a cost, and creates challenges for tech teams:

  • Applications reside across multiple cloud environments – public and private
  • Data is scattered across many different silos, limiting opportunities for learning and insight
  • Security and customer privacy can be compromised by poor API and data management

Join your industry peers for this Digital Leaders Roundtable to learn how businesses are creating intelligent processes and applications; and reducing their technology complexity by securely connecting applications and data across any cloud or on-premises environment. During the discussion I will share Ecosystm’s independent research on AI and automation vendors – what is the market perception of the leading providers and why do buyers prefer these leaders?

During the roundtable, we will share and discuss:

  • How businesses are selecting Automation and AI technology partners
  • Practical examples of how organisations are using automation to integrate applications and systems across private and public clouds
  • Why businesses are moving from automating tasks to entire processes

Leaders Roundtable: Why Organisations in New Zealand Fail to Maximise the Value of their Data

Most organisations today continue to underutilise the data they generate, and struggle to deliver on business outcomes.

At the same time, they face multiple challenges – continuing supply chain disruptions; an ongoing energy crisis that has led to a strong focus on sustainability; economic uncertainty; skills shortage; and increased competition from digitally native businesses – where the effective use of data holds the answer!

Ecosystm research finds that in New Zealand:

  • Only 38% of organisations have Data & AI strategy as a key priority
  • 47% of organisations find it a challenge to secure budgets for Data & AI because they are unable to show business value
  • 56% of organisations do not have a well-defined data strategy that focuses on seamless access of real-time data across the organisation
  • 72% of organisations are still focused on building a central data repository despite the emergence of data fabrics

Join this Executive Leaders Roundtable to discuss how you can support your organisation’s evolving priorities, demonstrate the outcomes that your organisation wants to achieve, and build a futureproof data strategy that considers the context within which your business operates in Aotearoa New Zealand.

Discussion points will include:

  • How ready organisations’ current data strategies are for emerging trends such as ESG reporting and sustainability measures
  • How a robust technology platform can mitigate challenges through efficient data collection and verification, better forecasting, and scenario modelling, and automation
  • How cloud can be an enabler and at the same time meet Māori data sovereignty requirements
  • The importance of a data governance policy in driving a data-driven mindset?
