This masterclass will feature industry-leading experts from KPMG and IBM providing real-time insight into analytics, data and AI problems. Please see the masterclass itinerary below:

1. AUTOMATING DATA TRANSFORMATION Data pre-processing and data cleansing is a fundamental stage of any BI and Analytics project. This crucial stage typically takes up more than half of the time for a full end to end project. Investing into the initial transformation can significantly enhance the value of data quality and insight, especially through automation and transformation tools such as Alteryx.

2. INSIGHT & INTELLIGENCE : How to achieve it with your data
   Don't let your business critical reporting get stuck behind in the age of technological disruption. Rajan Chavda examines how modern reporting and visualisation tools enable the data journey for businesses today, and how organisation decision makers can get the insight & intelligence that they need for operational and strategic decision making.

3. HOW TO DISRUPT THE AI DISRUPTION. A session to open your mind with executive thinking on “How to get started with AI, how to plan an AI journey for your business and how to implement AI without getting disrupted by the disruption”. Understand the core elements required to build an AI strategy. Learn more about the AI Architecture, Azure AI Services and if time permitting some AI Demos.
