Meeting Agenda:
The Sentient Enterprise
[Business and Technical]A sentient enterprise is able to detect micro-trends signaling the next crisis or opportunity before they even happen – enabling proactive intervention to create data-driven responses to optimize business value. To achieve this capability there are five stages of maturity in creating an analytical ecosystem to enable this capability: (1) agile data warehouse platform, (2) behavioral data platform, (3) collaborative ideation platform, (4) analytical application platform, and (5) autonomous decisioning platform. In this talk we will describe the evolution through these five stages along with the critical technical and organization success factors required for realization of sentient enterprise capabilities.
- Learn how to create a frictionless enterprise that enables data-driven decisions as a single organism without the impedance created by silos.
- Learn how a sentient organization can “listen” to data and make decisions in real-time without human intervention.
- Learn how a sentient enterprise can use virtually unlimited amounts of data to make decisions.
