In retail organizations, it is imperative to have a robust data-driven foundation for business decision-making to derive insights for accelerated growth & innovation at the speed of business.

He/she will explore the current analytics efforts and how the company/organization uses evidence-based approaches to turn potential into profit.

Panel Discussion: Innovative Loyalty: Identify the Data that Creates Obsessed Consumers

Today, retailers have tons of data and analytics software at their fingertips, providing deeper insights and a clear view of consumer behaviours and motivations. How can messaging, product placement, design, and delivery transform the average consumer into a brand evangelist faster than ever before? In this panel, the leading industry experts will discuss the innovative data points enterprises can optimize to tap into meaningful customer loyalty. Witness how retailers identify and retain consumers who believe in their mission, advocate for the brand, and keep coming back for more.

Panel Discussion

Path to leadership in Data Science

Many organizations are not yet fully realizing the value of data available to them, and that’s due to a shortage of data skills throughout the workforce. There is a gap between the highly skilled technical analysts producing insights and the workforce who need to effectively interpret and use those tools to act.

Leaders need data skills and to understand opportunities presented by data, they need to show authenticity and role modelling as well as data-led behaviours in their organizations and for their teams.

This session discusses on the skills business leaders need to enhance their careers by acting in a more informed evidence led way.
