Mr Jason See
Senior Director, Data Science & Artificial Intelligence Division (DSAID), GovTechData continues to grow at astounding rates, creating exciting opportunities for government agencies/departments to improve outcomes, enhance financial performance and create a better citizen experience. But when it comes to generating true value from various data and analytics investments, the differentiator often comes down to one or a mix of these 7 key principles. This session will highlight best practices from around the world on how they have adopted the 7 habits required to create a data-driven culture within your organization. Examples from local and international Qlik Public Sector customers will be highlighted throughout the discussion and questions will be encouraged.

Mr Charlie Farah
Senior Director and Industry Solution Lead, Public Sector and Healthcare APJ, QlikData fuels digital transformation. For organizations to become more data-driven, instilling the data culture is pivotal. A new-age Business Intelligence platform is a catalyst for that culture. This talk will cover the key elements that a modern BI platform should have that go beyond dashboards and reports and truly brings the value of data for all.

Mr Pradeep Menon
Cloud Scale Analytics Lead, GBB (Asia), MicrosoftSelf-service is designed to enable everyone to ask and answer their own questions using trusted data to make informed decisions. Governance is the combination of controls, roles, and repeatable processes that creates trust and confidence in data and analytics. In a successful self-service environment, the appropriate levels of governance create accountability and enable, rather than restrict, access to trusted content for users in your organization. Perhaps the most important principle when adopting modern analytics is that self-service and governance are not at odds with each other. IT and business stakeholders on the project team are responsible for defining data and content governance together. In this presentation, we will discuss how getting the right balance of flexibility and control can help realize the benefits of both self-service and governance.

Ms Katerina Hanna
Senior Director, Customer Success APJ, Tableau at SalesforceThe ultimate goal of data strategy is to build a data culture where data is treated as an asset, everyone is empowered to use data to enhance their daily work, and fully utilize organization’s potential by making decisions more successful and insight-driven. Although everyone agrees that data is the new oil, the execution of data strategy has stalled at providing tools to data people. In this session, we will discuss the technology that can empower everyone with governed and trusted data & analytics platform, and how to inject insights to everywhere to achieve the true pervasive analytics.
