Data Strategy Fireside Chat

In this session, we’ll explore how data strategy shows up in practice — not just as a plan or presentation, but in the day-to-day work of making decisions, aligning across perspectives, and moving work forward. We'll also touch on how teams are incorporating AI along the way.
Through a fireside chat with a Megan Brown, you’ll hear how this work unfolds in real environments and what it takes to make progress.

Together, we’ll explore:

• How priorities and strategy get translated into day-to-day work
• Where teams tend to get stuck, and what helps them move forward
• How different perspectives come together when making decisions
• How tools like AI are being used in practice, where they help and where human judgment matters most

This session is grounded in real experience rather than frameworks or ideal-state models. You’ll have a chance to ask questions, reflect on what you’re hearing, and connect with others navigating similar challenges.
