At the turn of the WFH era, we saw a paradigm shift in how people create, collaborate and consume data. More urgent than ever, the need to sense, connect and translate data into insights – sensemaking – for faster actions and sharp decision-making, has accelerated. But the adoption is not without tension and distrust. This brings to question on how can we do away with the conventional tech-first approach, but focus on what people really need and how they use it. In the opening, we will discuss key issues on how we have to navigate to transform. Among them – How can organisations be true to their collaboration interests and purpose, and let the emerging technology follow-through as the force for good – make us smarter, faster, scalable, accessible and trusted? Are you only keeping your lens within your organisation or across your eco-system? We can collectively reset the way forward to reverse the data-driven model to transform meaningfully beyond these trying times.

Data can accelerate digital transformation in meaningful ways. But the future of business needs more than digitization. For organizations to not only stay competitive, but also innovate, data-driven empathy instrumental in unlocking new and significant opportunities. World renowned digital anthropologist, best-selling author and Global Innovation Evangelist at Salesforce will share his insights on what he terms as data-driven empathy and how humanizing data and sense-making can lead to more relevant, innovative, and hyper-scalable business growth.

Data-driven decision-making has been at the forefront of organizational priorities for a while now, but executing on analytics capabilities still falls short. Analytics and sense-making strategies needs a bias towards action, and fast.

In this segment, Forrester’s Principal Analyst Achim Granzen, will highlight key takeaways from Forrester’s Sensemaking Maturity Index study commissioned by ST Engineering, and outline what organizations need in their analytics strategy today to get ahead.

Becoming a truly data-driven collaborative organisation requires clarity, not just on mere sensing and analytics, but also to activate the data well in a secure and sustainable way. Taking reference to our Sensemaking Maturity Index Study, this session will discuss on the key gaps identified and how organisations can mitigate the gaps – to accelerate speed-to-market, embrace a vibrant data culture and optimise tech agility. Use cases from both hospital and airport in the Asia region will be shared as well.

Many organisations face the challenge of seamless adoption whilst modernising their technology. The reality is to enable your stakeholders and users to see what they may be missing out, and the potential upside of sensemaking technology. Referring to our Sensemaking Maturity Index Study and taking on a humanised approach, this session will deep dive on 5 future-proof mindsets on how DA/AI, Cyber, Edge Cloud, AIoT and Simulation Learning can be advanced and optimised as the force for good in our organisations, and in our societies.

Data Culture is at a low with only 22% empowering their teams with insights – there is an urgency for us to shift our mindset from ownership to data sharing. What can organisations do to empower collaboration interests and how can tech play a part? Under current pressure, how can companies measure their returns in sensemaking initiatives? This vibrant exchange will shed some lights to the above questions.

Every company will eventually be in data business. Ironically, today we are not data deprived, but we are blinded by the siloed data capsules, the lack of capabilities to draw out insights and the skillsets to bring the data alive. Join us in this session as we take a close examination on how real human collaboration starts with shared interests and use cases. It is about crossing the chasm of organisational values, behaviours and attitudes to promote the use of relevant data as the driving force for decisions, and automate activations.
