Understanding Inceptions

Lightning Talk - Empowering Businesses with AI

Businesses are increasingly wanting to become data-driven, improving productivity or reducing waste through exploring existing data the business is collecting. Machine learning and Artificial Intelligence are promising a “Golden Age” for the data-driven business.

I aim to show:
How data analytics can discover inefficiencies in past practices and how this data can be used to streamline business processes.
That machine learning can predict the needs of new customers, and how this can lead to both improved customer retention and spending.

SESSION ONE:

“Starting Software. Better.” Better Project through Inc
eptions

As we all know, projects are not easy to get right. Many things can go wrong. And frequently they do. We may do the wrong thing, or we may do the right thing in the wrong way.

The most frustrating thing is when that pain could have easily been avoided.

The common root causes? Misaligned values and expectations, overlooked risks, missed dependencies and unsophisticated approaches to managing uncertainty and complexity. The complex interplay of people, processes and technologies will always bring change, uncertainty and unknowns. By acknowledging and addressing these factors early, we can massively reduce the various types of risks we're exposed to.

This is why we run Inceptions. They systematically address the issues that threaten to derail deliveries, helping us to reduce risk, build trust and achieve alignment.

This short session introduces the concept of Inceptions and outlines the general structure of Inception and how to go about planning and executing it.
