CIO Talks. Digital Leadership
Zikov Andra
Artificial Intelligence, Internet of Things and Big Data. We use to present them as the new technological trends but they are already a constant presence in our daily life. Alongside with 5G and the unstoppable migration to cloud they are representing the foundation of the new Digital Society. From chatbots, digital assistants, AI farming and AI healthcare our lives become more artificial intelligence driven.
The world's most valuable resource is no longer oil, but data. Everything becomes intelligent and we are releasing data on each second. But data needs to be processed through Advanced Analytics and Big Data to become valuable and to not be wasted. Companies are sitting on a huge amount of data that could improve their operational decisions and to provide predictive analytics.
The end users and the customers’ expectations are to become more digital and to follow them into the Digital Space. We need to become more intelligent and to understand the users’ needs and their behavior.
CIO Council proposes an open talk to learn how to use technology to improve operational efficiency through Artificial Intelligence and Advanced analytics and other technological trends.

16.00 – 16.25
Closing the loop: bringing insights back to the consumers.
It is now time to turn data and information into the foundation of prediction and business decisions
Speaker: ADRIAN BLIDARUS – CEO @ Softelligence
Synopsis: Every day we hear about how digitalized business processes are driving lower costs, less frictions and better user experience. We experience this firsthand with online onboarding flows, while dealing with our bank or filing an online first notification of loss with our insurance company.
At the same time, professionals are working behind the scenes with operational dashboards on top of digital platforms, or even from data fed into data warehouses. It is now time to look at how turning data into information and insights can circle back, and how the loop can be closed by bridging the gap between insights, predictions, and their respective consumers, who are supposed to leverage AI and ML, but are not always properly enabled to do so. Closing this circle is crucial to augment the business process and the user experience further.
16.25 – 16.50
