Plenary Keynote: Data Science for Grown Ups: How to Get Machine Learning out of the Lab to Scale it Across the Enterprise
Dr Alex Borek, Global Head of Data & Analytics, Volkswagen Financial Services AG
Digital players like Amazon, Uber and Netflix are using data science and machine learning at a large scale to drive business value in all of their core business processes. Many large organisations in more traditional industries have also invested heavily in data science, big data, data governance and business intelligence over the past few years and often struggle to scale their successful machine learning projects beyond a small pilot scope. In other words, algorithms stay in the lab and are not put into the heart of the enterprise. This keynote presentation highlights experiences and strategies in maturing a data lab into a global data factory organisation that can ensure that the promised value of data science and machine learning is truly realised. It also discusses the organisational implications for business intelligence, data management and data architecture and the role of cloud driven technologies in the required transformation to get your company ready for the age of artificial intelligence.
Key take aways:
- Learn about the organisational implications for scaling data science and machine learning to the heart of the enterprise
- Understand the role of business intelligence, data management and data architecture in the business transformation
- Hear about good practices and strategies for managing the organisational and technological change process towards an AI driven enterprise
Bosch
Data Management in Manufacturing
Felix Streichert, Data Governance Manufacturing, Robert Bosch GmbH
Digitalization in manufacturing promises a large potential for cost savings, but is faced with a number of challenges, e.g. cost pressure, complex value chain networks, and legacy systems. To introduce data management to this environment requires a step-by-step approach yielding benefits all along the way. We propose a data process life-cycle that allows us to incrementally improve, exploratively analyze, and finally standardize data. Allowing for both limited and full data management in the same framework, while giving a path from one to the other.

- Perpetual Brown Field
- Data Management Approach

Defence Infrastructure Organisation
Business Intelligence & Analytics Keynote: Driving Change by Applying Analytics Enterprise-Wide
Ian Wallis, Head of Data, Analytics & Insight, Defence Infrastructure Organisation
The application of BI and analytics can often be in a specific function, such as sales, marketing, HR or Finance. However, there is a growing awareness that these techniques can be applied to any part of an organisation to drive change and release value. This presentation will explain how the use of BI and analytics can be applied to a range of activities and a centralised team can deploy their skills and experience from one functional activity to another, thereby broadening the capabilities of that team and achieving significant benefits for the organisation.
Rabobank
The Art of AI
Jan W Veldsink, Lead AI at Rabobank Compliance and Core Teacher, Nyenrode / Rabobank
You will not have failed to notice the rise of Artificial Intelligence after a long winter into a sunny spring. It is now time to find out what the areas of BI and AI have to offer each other. In this session, because AI is being used more and more recently, Jan Veldsink will pay attention to what AI has to deliver organizations in a BI context.
AI currently focuses on Deep Learning, a layered variant of Machine Learning based on Neural Networks. By training a network with examples it forms a competence, usually classifying, for example, images or events. Requirements are set for the training examples and we will see how BI can play a role in making suitable training materials.
Or you can be assisted as a Data Scientist by an already trained AI! We will see several examples of AI-based systems that can take over part of the work of Data Scientists.
And for the real connoisseur there is the possibility to train an AI with own examples and then have them do part of the BI work. Typical examples of this are anomaly detection in fraud investigation and determining when machinery maintenance should take place. We will see various platforms that make it possible.
Hitachi
AI and IoT for Good
Naser Ali, Head of Solution Marketing, Hitachi Vantara
In this session, Naser shares his experience working in the IoT and AI space; covering complexities, pitfalls, and opportunities to explain why innovation isn’t just good for business — it’s a societal imperative.
Key takeaways include:
- Deeper understanding of what Big Data, IOT, and AI mean at a functional level, not just what brands the buzzwords refer to.
- Detailed understanding of some use-cases, and why solving these is more complex than it seems.
- Not just what it’s for, but who it is for, and how to think about the “business case” or social imperative around it.
Southern Water
Making Data Mainstream: Establishing a Data Function and Selling the Opportunities it Brings to a Commercial Organisation
Amy Balmain, Head of Data Exploitation, Southern Water

- Context on why a dedicated data team is a must for business
- How to set one up without importing expensive specialist skills or external consultants
- The significance of the commercial opportunities

About the EDM Council
The EDM Council is a neutral business forum founded by the financial industry to elevate the practice of data management as a business and operational priority. The prime directive is to ensure that all consumers (business and regulatory) have trust and confidence that data is precisely what is expected without the need for manual recalculation or multiple data transformations. There are four programs of the Council:
• Data Content Standards (FIBO): the standards-based infrastructure needed for operational management (identification, semantic language of the contract, classification). We own the industry ontology for financial instruments and entity relationships and make it available as an open source standard
• Data Management Best Practices (DCAM): the science and discipline of data management from a practical perspective (data management maturity, data quality, benchmarking).
• Data Implications of Regulation: translating the legislative objectives of transparency, financial stability, compressed clearing and cross-asset market surveillance into regulatory objectives and practical reporting requirements.
• Business Network: global meeting ground, CDO Forum and mechanism for sustainable business relationships
There are 135 corporate members of the Council (http://www.edmcouncil.org/councilmembers). We are governed by a board of 24 (http://www.edmcouncil.org/board). For more information visit www.edmcouncil.org.
