IDC Future of Intelligence - Nordic | Benelux

Abundance, Control and Business Outcomes

DIGITAL FORUM | May 27, 2021

Overview

 

Abundance, Control and Business Outcomes

 

Today, organizations learn and apply knowledge in silos (customers, operations, finance) and one transaction/activity/data point at a time, leading to many organizational challenges. 

What the Future of Intelligence Looks Like

Organizations will learn as a single entity and at scale by using the data generated from products, services, experiences, and ecosystems to inform and drive intelligent automation of processes. Organizations will develop a capability around the capacity to learn and acquire information, the ability to synthesize the information they need in order to learn, and the ability to apply the resulting knowledge pervasively across the organization. 

Key Aspects Shaping the Future of Intelligence

Evidence-based culture at organizations where the information at hand shapes decision making. Data scientists will combine knowledge of the algorithms with an understanding of functional goals. Organizations will offer a wider variety of experiences that demonstrate increasing value as the organization learns what is most desirable and efficient

The Future of Intelligence: Abundance, Control and Business Outcomes

Neil Ward-Dutton

Vice President, AI and Automation European Research Practices, IDC
The past five years have seen huge leaps in the availability of computing power, storage and networking capacity. These factors have pushed AI and real-time analytics from research topics to mainstream business opportunities. Every tech vendor now shouts about how they are using AI, and the tools to deliver intelligent business execution are readily available. How can organizations get beyond the technology hype, and ensure they get real results from the Future of Intelligence?

How do you eat a 175 Zetabyte Elephant? Take small bites and get started now.

Louise Skordby

Nordic Data and Technology Practice Leader, IBM

IDC's predictions for even a five year horizon paint an inspiring picture of all the possibilities for enterprises to really grab hold of AI/ML, IoT and other exponential technologies to solve major problems, tackle humanity's most pressing challenges, and create astronomical new business value in the process. The predictions paint the picture of a future where data - not just all data, but cleansed, curated, securely provisioned, trustworthy data - will be the essential fuel that drives the journey to AI. Failure to have your data house in order will be far more of a penalty than we see today. Change is not easy, but taking small steps adds up to big results. At IBM we know this because we have done it for ourselves, and we have done or are doing it for countless client partners around the world every day. In this session Louise Skordby will share experiences, considerations and approaches to have your "data house" in order, especially as it relates to Data Platforms.
